The test of all happiness is gratitude; and I felt grateful,though I hardly knew to whom. Children are grateful when Santa Claus puts in theirstockings gifts of toys or sweets. Could I not be grateful to Santa Claus when he put in mystockings the gift of two miraculous legs? We thank people for birthday presents of cigarsand slippers. Can I thank no one for the birthday present of birth?
