6. Read the quote below: "The magi, as you know, were wisemen--wonderfully wise men--who brought gifts to the baby
Jesus. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were wise ones,
perhaps ones you could exchange if you got two. And here I have told you the dull story of two
foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of
their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts,
these two were the wisest. Of all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest.
Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi."
