Week 51 Lesson 3

The Story of Rudolph the Reindeer

Santa Claus visits all the children in the world every Christmas Eve to deliver their Christmas toys and gifts.

A team of magical reindeers live at the North Pole with Santa Claus, Mrs Claus and the Christmas Elves. Mrs Claus gave each of the reindeers a  name: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet Cupid, Donner and Blitzen. There was anouther reindeer and his name was Rudolph.

Your goals

You know the story of the most famous reindeer!

Rudolph was always left out because he had a bright red glowing nose. He was never allowed to pull Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve. He was always left at the North Pole with the elves. The other reindeers laughed at him and called him names. The never let poor Rudolph join in their fun and games. So he played with the snowman.

One Christmas Eve, as Santa filled his sack with toys, the sky turned dark and the weather became foggy. It was so foggy that Santa would not be able to find his way and deliver the Christmas presents to the children. Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer came to the rescue with a great idea! His nose was so bright it could act as a strong light to guide Santa on his sleigh!

More toys were added to Santa's sack... Prancer said that Rudolph could take his place to lead the other reindeers pulling Santa's sleigh. Mrs Claus and the elves thought it was a brilliant idea and so did all the other reindeers! Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer became the hero of Christmas! The other reindeers never laughed at Rudolph or called him names again. And the North Pole became a very friendly place to live!

Now, every year Rudolph the Reindeer helps Santa deliver toys and gifts to the children on Christmas Eve!
