Christine and Raul got married. They had 2 children named
Mary and Betty. They loved spending Christmas together and loved spending time
with their family. Christine backed and cleaned the house Raul and the kids
decorated the Christmas tree. It was like an unwritten rule for them to do this.
Before one of the Christmas nights, Raul told Christine something.
-Honey, we don’t have enough money this year to buy
presents for Mary and Betty. They will both get so disappointed if they won’t
get presents but what can we do?
– I don’t know Raul but I am sure we can’t afford to buy
gifts. We barely pay off the rent.
Meanwhile the girls were listening to them. They both
didn’t believe in Santa but this year they gave it a try. They wrote letters to
Santa and the next day they took the letters to the mail. Santa wasn’t happy
this Christmas too. We all know that he has 9 reindeers. One of them got lost
while taking training for flying. Its name was Comet. Comet was one of the most
magical reindeers. Santa was very worried about Comet his health and about how
he would fly around the whole world with 1 reindeer missing.
-Santa, I don’t think that this year you will be able to
give presents to every child. Said Miss Claus. Santa was in disbelief. He
didn’t know what to do but Betty and Mary weren’t doing well too. They were
both walking down the street and saw something magical. A reindeer was flying
around and making loud noises. When the reindeer saw the girls, it flew down.
At first, they both were scared but then Mary got brave and went a few steps close
to the reindeer. Mary read the name on
the collar.
-Comet… wow such a pretty name. I wonder where’s your
owner Comet.
-Mary leaves him alone I don’t think we can find his
owner in this huge city.
Betty didn’t want to help Comet she was already mad
because she wouldn’t get a gift for Christmas. But her kindness and Mary’s
puppy eyes got her to say yes. It was Comet’s first night in the other place
then North Pole. The next day when Comet woke up it started yelling. Girls ran
towards it. Comet was running around the circles like crazy. Mary was a bookworm
and she decided to go to the local library. She read a few old books there
about mythical creatures. The most shocking thing about reindeers was that they
would lose their power to fly after 48 hours without Santa’s magic. Betty and
Mary got worried right away and started thinking about what they could do.
After a few hours of thinking Betty got a very dangerous but only idea.
-MARY! What if we sit on the comet and he will take us to
the North Pole!
-Well, that’s the most stupid idea I have ever heard and
if he can fly, he would’ve gone back to the North Pole.
– He is always under human discipline maybe he needs
humans to fly.
They sat on the
Comet and waited for the worst. Fortunately, Comet flew high up in the sky.
Girls fell asleep but soon enough they woke up. They were both freezing cold.
Santa woke them up. In his workshop.
-Hello kids! I must thank you for bringing my reindeer’s
Comet back. I can’t be more thankful to you, so I decided to make your wishes
come true a little earlier. Mary, you wished for your parents to get a job so
just like you wished your parents got hired in a shop. Betty, you wished that
all presents that your family wished for would come true and you got what you
wished for. And again, thank you for being so kind and respectful.
