Little Frankie is asking Santa …
Dear Santa!
Bring me a dog, please. Don’t bring me a teddy bear, they are for girls. Bring me a computer. Don’t bring me a bike. My old bike is still good. Bring me a mobile. Don’t bring me a book of fairy tales, I’ve got a lot of them.
Thank you, Santa. I will wait for your gifts.
Frankie.
