If I found myself in that difficult position, before telling Virginia anything, I would ask her the following question: What do you think about the Three Wise Men? Do you think they are as magical as people say?
I think, on the one hand, it would be good to tell her the truth because in this way she would "mature" in some way.
But the truth is that I would prefer not to say anything because it would take away the illusion of the night that Three Wise Men arrived. I think that the most beautiful thing of that day is the illusions of the children and the fact that three men are able to give them so much happiness in a single period of time, so I wouldn't tell her anything. In this way, she would continue having hope for many more years.
I personally think that nobody must tell the truth to a little boy or girl because how do you say to a child that the Three Wise Men don't exist? If you do, you will break their hearts for ever.
