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.
