nativity play

When my son was 4 in England, (…) he was in the nativity play. (…)
You know the bit where the three kings come in. They come in bearing gifts, and they bring gold, frankincense and myrrh. (…)
Anyway, the three boys came in, little 4-year-olds with tea towels on their heads, and they put these boxes down, and the first boy said, “I bring you gold.”
The second boy said, “I bring you myrrh.”
And the third boy said, “Frank sent this.”
