The Magi's Gifts

Yesterday Sam and I were reading one of his lift-the-flap books about Christmas. As usual we came to the exciting page depicting the visit of the three Wise Men from the East. Sam lifted the flaps on the camel saddles to reveal two golden treasure chests and one jewel-studded urn.
"Gold, frankinsense, and myrrh," I said for the hundredth time. "Presents from the Wise Men to baby Jesus."
Sam twirled his hair thoughtfully for a moment. Then he pointed to the flaps and exclaimed, "Lunch box!"

Stick to your guns, Sam. Don't fall for any of that frankinsense, gold and myrrh bull. Ockam's razor or bust!
