Emma and Rudolph saved the day

Once upon a time, on the day before Christmas, Santa became very, very sick. It was such a big problem that it was on the news all over the world. A lot of kids thought that there was going to be no gifts from Santa that year. Santa only had a short time to get well or Mrs. Claus would have to deliver the gifts. So Rudolph and Emma, the elf went to North America to see the claus’s doctor to get some medicine for Santa.

When they got back Mrs. Claus had all of the reindeer ready except Rudolph. Emma gave Santa his medicine, after that Emma got Santa’s coat, shirt, pants and rubber boots. Emma and the elves loaded all the presents into the sleigh. At midnight Santa got on his sleigh and went southwest to North American and South America and all over the whole world. He got back at 6:20 a.m. and the sun came up at 6:30 a.m. Santa was happy to hear and see little children opening their presents.
