In this story, the drummer boy was made part of the family of Mary, Joseph and Jesus. Named
Simon, he grew, married and had a son named Mendel. Sadly, Mendel was born with paralyzed legs. Jesus made Mendel a cart so that he could navigate throughout the neighborhood.
Before she died, she gave Mendel the three gifts given by the wise men to baby Jesus. When Mendel learned that his neighbor Matthius was badly beaten and all his sheep stolen, he gave the gift of gold to Matthus so he might buy a new flock. The second gift, that of frankincense was given to Anna, a righteous woman who continually praised the teachings of Jesus. It was believed that Anna's prayers could be carried to heaven.
Crippled Mendel accidentally dropped the sack containing the precious myrrh, spreading to Mendel's thin, crippled legs, he experienced the miracle of the myrrh as he discovered he could indeed walk.
