- Story Text: IN THE CONGO, FAR FROM THE BEBLOODED FIGHTING AREAS, THE CALM OF CHRISTMAS TIME REIGNS. THE PLACE IS LEOPOLDVILLE, THE CAPITAL.
THREE THOUSAND CONGOLESE CHILDREN RECEIVED PRESENTS FROM FATHER CHRISTMAS. A EUROPEAN FATHER CHRISTMAS, BUT THIS IS A EUROPEAN CUSTOM THAT HAS BECOME A TRADITION TOO AT THEIR SCHOOL.
AND IT TAKES PLACE ON EACH FEAST DAY OF SAINT NICHOLAS, IN THIS MONTH OF DECEMBER... WHEN THE CONGO EXPERIENCES ITS HOTTEST PERIOD OF THE YEAR.
