(Christmas story about the three wise men known to have followed the star of Bethlemhem) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Wise_Men
Book 3 Page 15
The three wise Men
Looking for Jesus
the three wise men followed a star.
They walking for weeks
cause they had no car!
They walked over hill and dale
in sleek and in hail.
So the legend is handed down,
so goes the tale
And they wore out there sandals
while carrying their gifts.
For they had to walk for miles,
at the stars slightest shift.
They walked to the east
and then back to the west.
It was a feat of endurance,
this holy astrological test.
But! they found the place eventually,
(thank god for that.)
The star had lead them to Bethlehem
where all the action was at.
And then they did their thing
and presented their myrh.
Giving praise to Mary
and her miraculous birth.
