Christmas story

Bertie

SANTA CLAUS DOES NOT FORGET
Bertie was a very good boy. He was kind, obedient and nice to his little sister. Unfortunately he had one big fault: he had a habit of forgetting!
It was strange how often he forgot. He forgot to do things his mother asked him.
He always said < Oh sorry, I forgot! >.
He forgot to give his grandma a very important message from his mother. He forgot to take a gift to his best friend's birthday party, and he even forgot to do his homework.
< Oh sorry, I forgot! >.
His mother and father were very patient, but no matter what they did, Bertie forgot all the things he wanted to forgot and only remembered the things he wanted to remember. 
After a while his parents decided that something must be done to help their little boy remember to do the things they asked him to do.
