News From
Santa's
Workshop
BY JULIE RUSSELL
Grade 4
J.A.D. McCurdy
After supper Sally and
George were watching the
news on television. They
were watching it for stories
for current events that they
were having in school in the
morning.
They were horrified by the
news they heard. The an
nouncer was saying that
there had been a burglary at
Santa’s Workshop and there
Tyere no> toys left for
Gpristmas. He ■ added,
‘‘‘•There will be no Christmas
this year!"
“No Christmas!’’ the
children echoed. They
decided to leave right away
and help Santa at the North
Pole.
They told their parents
they were going to help
Santa solve a mystery. So
they bundled up and took off
on their dad’s snowmobile.
Hours went past and
finally they arrived at
Santa’s Workshop. When
they walked in Santa was
sitting at his table half angry
and half sad.
‘“I wish I could catch the
thief,” said Santa. “I’m sure
if I told him about Christmas
he would bring the toys
back."
“But Santa," said George
“Why don’t you make new
toys?" “I can’t" Santa sadly
said, “There wouldn’t be
enough toys for every boy’
and girl in the world."
“There just isn’t enough
time.”
Sally walked outside and
saw some footprints, “Come
here Santa, look. Here are
some footprints”.
Santa, George and Sally
followed the footprints until
they came to an elf’s house.
It was Jolly Jingle’s house.
He was the new elf. They
opened the door and walked
in. There was Jolly Jingle
and also all the toys.
Santa said “Jolly Jingle
how could you steal all these
presents?”
Jolly Jingle said “But they
all looked so good to play
with that 1 didn’t want to
give them away!”
“Come on Jolly Jingle,
help me bring everything
back to the workshop. When
you see the smiling faces of
the children on Christmas
morning you will see what
Christmas is all about.” said
the kind old man.
George and Sally hopped
on the snowmobile and went
home.
That year Christmas came
as usual and Jolly Jingle
found out what Christmas
was all about and he never
ever stole Christmas
presents again.
