Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi. -------------------------- Credit: www.Librivox.org Music: NCS Read by: Rhonda Federman Picture from pixabay.com Some Pictures are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International, 3.0 Unported, 2.5 Generic, 2.0 Generic and 1.0 Generic license. ...
