CHRISTMAS SURPRISE
Thursday, July 7th, 2011 It was two days before christmas. Harry , Coney, Monty and I were busy building a snowman when Fritz appeared with his little niece Emily and introduced her.
” Emily is from the south and has never seen snow before,” Fritz told us. ” She doesn’t know much about our winters.”
It turned out Emily also didn’t know much about Christmas.” Who is Santa Claus, Waldo?” she asked me, shivering in the cold air.
” Santa Claus. ” I explained, ” brings presents and toys to human children at Christmas time.”
” Does he also bring presents to animal children?” Emily asked.
” Well,” I said , ” he hasn’t been around this part of the forest for many years. I guess he is too busy visting all the human children to have much time left for animals.”
Do you think he will come if I write to him?” Emily asked.
” I don’t think so,” said Monty. ” I ‘ve never seen him, myself.”
” Neither have I,” Harry added, shaking his head.
” You see, Santa Claus is only for human children,” Fritz said to Emily. ” So forget about the whole idea. Let’s go home nopw before you catch a cold.”
