What is the Plot of the Truce in the Forest?

Answer 1

It was Christmas Eve when 3 Americans (their enemy) knocked in the cottage of a mother and her son. The mother took them in and healed Harry- the wounded one, and cooked for them (Jim, Robin, Harry). Just as they were setting the table, there came another knock. The son was familiar of the uniforms the men were wearing, they were Germans (German corporal, Heinz, Willi) who was lost and will stay then continue their trip at daylight. The mother will take them in and will be served with a hot meal with a one condition, and that is to not kill each other inside. She ordered everyone to hand out their weapons. While the son was helping to cook more potatoes, a German inspected the wounded soldier when he heard Harry moan. They were all relaxed after their meal.

Just before midnight, they all stood up looking to the star of Bethlehem except for Harry who was sleeping. It was as if they had all forgotten about the war.

At daylight, they had oatmeal, while Harry swallowed broth and drank an invigorating drink from the corporal's wine, sugar and an egg. The Americans and Germans were figuring their way out the forest and to their lines. The mother gave them all back their weapons and wished them good luck and said God bless. The Americans and the Germans shook their hands then went to their opposite ways. The mother brought out their old family bible which was open to the Christmas story, the Birth in the Manger and how the Wise Men came from afar bearing their gifts. Her finger was tracing the last line from Matthew 2:12: "...they departed into their own country another way."
