La Navidad del Peludo
El Peludo era un burro. Llevaba catorce años trabajando para el mismo amo, y en catorce años casi no había conocido otra cosa que el hambre y los palos.
Era Nochebuena. Llovía y hacía un frío terrible. El amo se paró en una taberna. Dentro no había sitio para el burro, así que lo ató a una argolla de hierro, en la puerta, debajo de la lluvia.
Por la ventana, el Peludo veía a los hombres. Estaban calientes, comían y bebían vino. Fuera, el burro tenía tanta hambre que no tenía fuerzas ni para rebuznar. Entonces vio una luz suave…
