vallitsi nyt onni, rakkaus ja rauha, ja iso-?idin ilo oli oikein t?ydellinen, kun pikku Manne, jonka Erkki oli vienyt Elias sed?lle onnea toivottamaan, v?h?n suutaan nirpist?en kurkotti k?si?ns? mummollensa, sanoen: "Mum -- mummo".
"Viel? yksi joululahja lis??!" huudahti iso-?iti, "lapsi osaa sanoa mummo".
My?hemp??n illalla sanoi Teinin leski: "Erkki, kiitt?k??mme Herraa kaikesta hyv?st?, jota H?n meille on t?n?kin p?iv?n? suonut."
Erkki otti kirjan, josta h?n luki rukouksen ja sitten veisasivat he kaikin yhdess? jouluvirren. Sen j?lkeen t?m? onnellinen perhe sanoi y?hyv?iset toisillensa.
Y?ll?, kun kaikki jo nukkuivat ja kuu laski kalpean valonsa Erkin pappilan akkunoille ja t?hdet taivaalla kirkkaina tuikkivat, valvoi leski viel?. H?n tunsi itsens? yksin?iseksi: nuot lapset, jotka h?nelle olivat kaikki t?ss? maailmassa, joita h?n niin suurella huolella oli kasvattanut, heid?n syd?mmess??n oli nyt vieras h?nelt? anastanut ensimm?isen sijan... Tuota ajatellessaan kuvautui h?nen silmiens? eteen lapsi, joka kurkotti h?nelle pienet k?t?sens?, huutaen: "Mummo!" Kaunis hymyily levisi h?nen kasvoillensa ja yksin?isyyden tunne haihtui syd?mmest?.
