Amahl and the night visitors Somewhere in the world lives a crippled little shepherd called Amahl, with his mother, an impoverished widow. Nothing is left to them of the little they ever had, and they are now faced with hunger and cold in their empty house. Three Kings on their way to Bethlehem stop at the hut and ask to be taken in for the night. Amahl and his mother welcome them as well as they can, and are much astonished at the splendor of their robes and the wealth of gifts they are carrying with them. Under cover of darkness, while the Three Kings are asleep, the mother steals some ofthe gold from them . . . and is caught. When she explains to the Kings that she needs this gold to feed her starving child, she is readily forgiven. With great tenderness they try to explain to her who this newborn child is . .. Touched by their words, the poor widow gives back the stolen gold. Amahl impulsively hands to the Three Kings his wooden crutch, his most precious possession, and in doing so he is miraculously cured of his lameness. Ragged and worn shepherds arrive at the humble hut to pay homage to the kings providing a beautiful back- ground with blending and shading of voices.
