(Shelley McPhee photo) A gift for Mrs. Santa Claus By Helen (Owes Outside Santa's workshop the elves and fairies were gathered to wave him goodbye. The sleigh was loaded and the reindeer paw- ed the ground. With a final wave Santa pull- ed on the reins, and with a jingle of.harness bells, he was off! Greencap, the Senior elf, sighed a big, deep sigh and turned to Fairy Silver Wings: "We only just made it," he said. "Santa said there were more letters than ever this year." "Oh, I know," replied Silver Wings. "At one point 1 began to think we wouldn't get everything finished in time - all those Cab- bage Patch dolls and their clothes - all the stuffed toys - but we managed." "What about a nice cup of tea?" asked Greencap. Silver Wings nodded and they went off together to the workshop cafeteria. "Two teas and a plate of cookies, please," said Greencap, and then carried the tray to a nearby table. They had scarcely taken their first sip of tea when Mini Mike, the smallest elf, came rushing across to them. "Here you are!" he exclaimed. "I have been looking for you everywhere. I was helping Mrs. Santa put the' presents round the tree up at her house, and ...." he paused. "There isn't a present for her from the elves and. fairies!" Silver Wings gasped and Green Cap gave a long low -whistle. "HoW could we forget?" he groaned. "She is always so kind to us, especially during the last weeks when we are so busy," said Silver .Wings. "Are you sure there is something for Santa?" she asked Mini •Mike. "Oh, yes," he replied, "the elves mad'° him some beautiful new slippers. I saw them being packed." "Then," answered Silver ,Wings, "I will get back to my workshop and the fairies will dosomething as quickly as possible. I don't know what, but something. If I need any help Green Cap, I'll call on you," and off she went like a flash of light.

"But what can we do?" chorused the fairies when she told them what had happen- ed. Some of them began to cry because they all loved Mrs. Santa - and that gave Silver Wings an idea, Hastily grabbing a howl she • ran from fairy to, fairy, gently flicking the tear drops from their faces. ••Silver Wings," sobbed Marigold, "what are you doing? We can't give Mrs. Santa a bowl of tears." "Oh yes we can," answered Silver Wings reaching for her fairy wand. She waved it over the bowl and Marigold ran to look in- side then gasped with surprise and delight. The tears had been changed into beautiful sparkling crystal beads. "Oh," she breathed, "Look fairies - such beautiful heads to make a necklace. We` have some golden thread left - all we need is a clasp. I will go to the jewellery elf - I'm sure he will be able to make one for us." "And go to the packing department," said Silver Wings, "and find a box lined with • velvet." In no time at all the necklace was finished, and Silver Wings called Green Cap and Mini Mike to come and see it, sparkling against the crimson velvet. "It's beautiful," he said, ,"really beautiful." -"And much more than that," answered • Silver Wings as she closed the box and tied on the ribbons. "It is made from the tears of the fairies, tears of love and concern." On Christmas Day there was a party at Santa's house for all the elves and fairies. They all had presents and then it was time for Mrs. Santa to open hers. "What a beautiful gift." she said holding it up in the lamplight. Santa fastened it around her neck. "I think,". he said, "it is the rnost wonder- ful present you have ever received." CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19,1984 -Page?
