The Christmas Slug

   One Christmas day in the country of Panama, Santa Claus found himself lost. 'You must go two more miles East" .said a villager to Santa.  While Santa was preparing to leave.  A slug named Slimy decided he wanted  to travel with Santa. So the the slug slithered off his rosebush and into Santa's ' bag of toys and gifts.  He hid in the bottom of the bag to stay warm."  
   Well everything was going well that Christmas.  Special glass bells for the mission at San Miguel were being made last. Final preparations were being made and Christmas would soon be at hand. 
  "There are some strange fellow living up here" said an elf as he passed the bowl that Slimey lived in with leaves and tree twigs.    Too bad you won't be coming with us tonight"..
  Suddenly a noise was heard .Squeak , rumble crash!! "what is that! shouted an elf. '"A bolt is stuck in the machine and it damaging the glass bells. All the supplies are put away said a second elf named Doil in frustration . Niip the elf got an idea.  He went and brought Slimey . "Give us some of that great ooze of yours." So the slug slim ed the stuck bolt.  "Start her up !' shouted someone. Creek, crack hmmmm.

"That will do till we can fix it good." said an elf. So they wrapped up everything ,, and off went Santa Clause and that is the story of  The Christmas Slug  The End.     by R.G.
