Rudolph written by Tasha Guenther

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer is a special reindeer who attracts attention because of his shiny nose. However, the other reindeer make fun of him and exclude him from their games. Meanwhile, some mischievous elves create a fog bike that produces a lot of fog. On Christmas Eve, Santa and the reindeer can't see because of the fog, but Santa remembers Rudolph and asks him to guide the sleigh with his bright nose. Rudolph becomes a hero and is accepted by the other reindeer. They all celebrate and Rudolph receives a special gift from Santa. From then on, Rudolph leads Santa's sleigh every Christmas Eve. Rudolph written by Tasha Gunther. Once upon a time in a place we all know and loved lived a little reindeer. Now this little reindeer was named Rudolph and he was very special. Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose. This nose attracted attention from all over the North Pole. Elves, snowmen, penguins vacationing from the South Pole and even relatives of Mrs. Claus would flock to see it. The elves would all gasp at the sight saying, my it is very shiny and very shiny indeed. The elves loved anything shiny ever since metallic toys became a thing. One day a group of penguins were waddling past Santa's workshop. Santa was tinkering away at a new toy invention trying to curb the current elf enthusiasm for platinum. His new invention was a bicycle that trailed with fog. The faster a child could pedal the more fog the bicycle created. Santa looked up from his workbench as he heard the group of penguins saying, and if you ever saw him said one you would even say it glows said another. Like a light bulb asked the last. Like a light bulb replied the first two. Now Rudolph did not particularly like all the immediate attention he was getting for his nose. Elves and snowmen would stare at him as he passed by. Penguins dressed in Hawaiian shirts would snap pictures and Mrs. Claus's relatives would force him to try their baked goods. Worst of all all of the other reindeer laughed and called them names like Pinocchio. Unfortunately they never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games. Now it's important to add that reindeer games were and still are the most fun of any games in the entire world. Reindeer can play Monopoly, tag, freeze tag, toilet tag, bump tag, ball tag, soccer, and hide-and-seek among others. What makes their games so fun is that they can fly so high into the sky that they are literally dancing on clouds. This means that a reindeer can use his or her get out of jail free card at an altitude of 40,000 feet. Whenever Rudolph would come around with his shiny nose all the reindeer would sigh and whisper, oh great here comes Pinocchio and it looks even brighter and redder and uglier today. Then when Rudolph asked if he could join in the reindeer usually Prancer or Vixen would say, sorry Pinoc... I mean Rudolph we are playing hide-and-seek again today and with your nose well I just don't think that's possible. Rudolph of course understood why he couldn't play hide-and-seek. His nose was far too bright to do any hiding or seeking. Before he left however he saw Blitzen with the Monopoly board and the soccer ball. That's when he realized that he was being lied to. He ran to his dear mother and sobbed, oh mother they just don't want to play with me. I am no fun for them. I'm no fun for anyone. I wish I was never given this stupid stupid red nose. Meanwhile back at Santa's workshop a couple of elves were finishing up some last-minute touches on Santa's new fog bike when they noticed the instructions sitting on Santa's beloved workbench. As they read them over they realized what the fog bike could actually do. They looked at each other and grinned their elvish grins. Then they hopped on the bike one pedaling on the left the other on the right. Again it is important to add that when elves set their minds to things they really follow through. So when they realized that the faster the bike pedaled the more fog was made they decided to make enough fog to fill the entire North Pole and the world. They pedaled and pedaled and pedaled. One on the left and one on the right. They jumped up and down up and down on the pedals making Santa's fog bike go faster and faster and faster. They pedaled this bike so fast that you could no longer see them. In part because they were going so fast and in part because they had created so much fog that you couldn't even see your hand if you held it in front of your face. Santa awoke from his regular nap and set to getting dressed in his official Christmas suit. Red pants, coat, hat, and black boots. He brushed out his white beard and with the help of Mrs. Claus combed down his white head of hair. Excited for the evening ahead Santa stepped out into the Christmas Eve night. As he walked outside he realized he couldn't see his sleigh. He couldn't see his reindeer. He couldn't see anything. He whistled to his reindeer. On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer, on Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen where are you? Here we are Santa ready for a foggy night ahead they shouted together. As they tried to take off however none of the reindeer could see where they were going. Oh dear we will crash into houses at this point shouted Santa. Just then he could hear the group of penguins talking. My pictures aren't turning out in this weather shouted the one. Mine either cried the last two. Then Santa remembered the penguins conversation about the little reindeer with the red nose. Santa called out Rudolph! Rudolph! In the distance flickered a bright red light brighter than anything you've ever seen. Yes Santa spoke Rudolph shyly. The elves, the snowmen, the penguins, Mrs. Claus's relatives, Mrs. Claus and the reindeer gasped in delight. Santa smiled and said Rudolph with your nose so bright won't you guide my sleigh tonight? Rudolph was placed at the head of the sleigh filled with happiness. His nose was important. He was important. He began to laugh and grow even happier as the reindeer behind him began to cheer. They lifted up high into the sky with the brightness and redness from Rudolph's nose guiding them on their way. Ho! Ho! Ho! Santa exclaimed. Yippee! cheered the reindeer. When they returned home after a great Christmas Eve of delivering presents all the reindeer began to open their own presents given to them from Santa. In Rudolph's present was his very own Monopoly game. It was signed Love Santa and the reindeer. He now knew that all those at the North Pole accepted him. Every day Rudolph played with the other reindeer feeling their love since he could guide their way through hide-and-seek if it ever got stormy or if the elves ever got hold of Santa's newly made fog bite which they often did since their obsession for platinum had transformed into a strange obsession for fog. Because of this his beautiful nose all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee. Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer you'll go down in history! And every Christmas Eve Santa would call out to his reindeer. On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer, on Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen and the most famous reindeer of all Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. And every time they took off elves and snowmen would shout with joy. Mrs. Claus's relatives would eat cookies and the penguins would snap their pictures. The end.
