In this video, Amahl, hating to see his mother distressed, has a story he is used to telling for this occasion.
------------------------------------------
Mother-Kathryn Alicia Tate, Director-Robert McFarland, Piano-Joe Krupa
------------------------------------------
Amahl: But there is a star and it has a tail this long. Well, maybe only this long But its there!

The mother: Amahl!

Amahl: Cross my heart and hope to die

The mother: Hunger has gone to your head. Dear God, what is a poor widow to do, when her cupboards and pockets are empty and everything sold? Unless we go begging how shall we live through tomorrow? My little son, a beggar!

Amahl: Don't cry mother dear, don't worry for me.
If we must go begging, a good beggar I'll be.
I know sweet tunes to set people dancing.
Well walk and walk from village to town,
you dressed as a gypsy, and I as a clown.
Well walk and walk from village to town.
At noon, we shall eat roast goose and sweet almonds.
At night we shall sleep with the sheep and the stars.
Ill play my pipes, youll sing and youll shout.
The windows will open and people lean out.
The king will ride by and hear your loud voice and throw us some gold to stop all the noise.
At noon we shall eat roast goose and sweet almonds;
at night we shall sleep with the sheep and the stars.

The mother: Kiss me good night.
The mother and Amahl to eachother: Good night.
