Wednesday, December 23, 199K Vixen's Fear of Heights Molly Nreenian Blddulph Central My job as one of Santa's reindeer can be interesting, but the only problem is 1 was afraid of heights. My name Is Vixen , and 1 am one of Santa's . reindeer up at the North Pole. 1 first started being afraid of heights when 1 was just a small foal. My mother took me to a small cliff so 1 could look down • at the pond. As 1 got dos- . er to it, 1 tripped over an above -ground tree root and tumbled off the -edge. Good thing my mother was there to save me. Later that year there was a reindeer meeting in -the meadow. When 1 got there 1 noticed that Santa was there and all of a sudden 1 knew what the meeting was about. "1 might as well leave," 1 thought, and then all of a sudden in a loud boom- ing voice, "VIXEN." Oh no, what was 1 going to do? 1t was my turn but 1 was afraid of heights! Bravely, 1 walked up to the flying ramp and jumped. Before 1 even knew 111 was dancing and prancing through the sky, and that's liow I over- came my Beer of heights. 1-800-342-7217 t Jerry Zehr (RES) 236-4712 LOOKING TO SELL IN 1999?
