The gift-wrapper

"Once upon a time there was a tiny little elf that wrapped gifts. Every year he worked round-the-clock to have Christmas presents ready. He chose every wrapping paper meticulously, never left anything by chance, not even the bows he personally designed for the ocasion. Big packages, small, round, curvy, he managed to create an original look for each and every single one of them. Then he would pick up a pen and write a message, a small card he'd drawn from his imagination. No one was left without a few caring words. But one day, he felt as if he add lost something. No matter how much gifts he had wrapped, something was missing. He put the pen down and went to the window to see the snow. Snowing, how beautiful it was. Then he realized: like a snowflake is beautiful by itself, so should the gifts.
He picked up the pen again and wrote in his small book of thoughts: the one thing I have and that needs no wrapping is my heart. And in my words he lives.
Then he began sending the gifts, unwrapped, just painted with his words."
