I ran quickly and woke up Mom and Dad. I told them what had happened but they didn't believe me. I told them to go see for themselves. When they looked they were surprised. Santa looked at them and then at the hole in the roof and said to my parents "I am awfully sorry about the roof. I guess I'had better be' more oat'eful next time." After Santa said good-bye and left us our presents. Mom and Dad went to work on fixing the roof. I went to bed and slept soundly that night. When I woke up in the morning the roof was all fixed and Mom and Dad were waiting for us 'to open the presents. Everything was back to normal. When our relatives came they open- ed their presents.
