  2. And so they did.

  3. The first to apply for the job was an elephant named Murray.

  4. The takeoff was smooth.

  5. And the landing was perfect.

  6. But Murray didn’t get the job.

  7. Next came Marvin the crocodile and some of his friends.

  8. But they all had far too many teeth and looked much too hungry.

  9. Santa Claus was very polite when he turned them down.

  10. Rex, the leader of the huskies, knew his team could do the job. “If you want this sleigh pulled properly,” he said, “you need professionals.”

  11. Certainly, the takeoff was fast, and the flight was steady.

  12. But then Rex looked down. With a yelp of fear he tried to climb into the sleigh with Santa. So did everyone else.

  13. The sleigh came to a sudden stop, then fell in swoops and circles till it sploshed into a large pond.

  14. Through the summer many other applied.

  15. But no one was quite right for the job.

  16. Winter came once again and still there was no one to pull the sleigh. Santa Claus was worried.

  17. The day before Christmas, a young reindeer knocked on Santa’s door. “One of my friends has fallen into a gorge and broken his leg,” he said. “Can you help us?” “I’ll come at once,” said Santa.

  18. “We could use the sleigh for an ambulance,” said Elwin. “That’s a good idea,” said Santa Claus. “But there’s no one to pull it.” “We could,” said the reindeer. And that is what they did.

  19. Now Santa Claus knew he could deliver each and every present and still be home before the sun rose on Christmas morning. And so began a journey that would happen every year until forever.
