Arthur’s Present by Elisabeth CPE Neon, Aegina

t was Christmas Eve and Santa Claus with his elves were packing his fast, contemporary sleigh with all of the presents for the children which had to be delivered within 4 hours. Thankfully, Santa Claus’ amazing vehicle of the achieved the delivery of all the presents in 2 hours…..erm…….almost all of the presents.

After they returned to the North Pole, the 15 year-old son of Santa Claus, named Arthur, wanted to see his father’s sleigh. But Arthur was a very naive and clumsy boy and they never let him to get close to the luxury sleigh. So, he went undercover. Unfortunately, he caused damage to it! Thirty minutes after Arthur had destroyed it, the elves found out that they had forgotten a little girl. Because Santa was in a rush to go to his sleigh, he tripped and broke his right hand and foot. Arthur was very sad about his father and the sleigh, but he was even more sorry about the girl who might think that Santa had forgotten her. So, hastily, he went to ask grandfather Claus how they could arrive in one and a half hours at the girl’s house.

His grandfather showed him the way that he had distributed gifts in his years as Santa Claus, with 1 sleigh and 4 reindeer. Thus, Arthur, with his grandpa, began their journey. While everything was alright, at the moment before they arrived at her house, Arthur lost the control of the sleigh and as a result, they fell on a mountain side 4 kilometres away from their destination. Unhappily they didn't have the right tools to repair it and grandpa was too old to do the delivery himself. The only option was Arthur.

Suddenly, he started to run as fast as he could because he had only 40 minutes to distribute the present. Despite the bad weather  conditions, he successfully managed to get into his destination a few minutes before sunrise. Getting into the house, he saw the beautifully decorated Christmas tree and under it, he left the girl’s present.  But at that  moment, he heard someone coming down the stairs. Without time to react, he realised that the girl had seen him. She hugged him with the passion of unconditional love and Arthur, for the first time in his life, understood how great and important was his father’s job for all of the children around the world. Gladly, he went to find his grandfather. Together, they repaired the broken sleigh and went home to celebrate the new  year.
