The Shepherd Boy With A Drum

This story was inspired by the old Christmas song, "The Little Drummer Boy."

I gave the "Boy" a life of his own. A curious boy and up to his maturity, life was still a puzzle he can't comprehend, until..., well...

NOTE: I thought the Christmas song, "The Little Drummer Boy," was in the public domain, but it was not. So I search for the copyright holder and with the help of Mark Hauth (Music Services), i found Charlie Rosen (International Korin Corp.). I emailed Mr, Rosen and ask permission to use the "boy" in a story I'm going to write. Mr. Rosen replied that I don't need a permission as long as I don't use any part (lyric) of the song.
