Story:
One day Dundor was taking a leisurely walk through the jungle trees, when a sudden loud noise roared all around. Being kind of timid, Dundor took off in the direction he thought was farthest from the noise. He jumped through the underbrush and stopped with fright. There in front of him laid the strangest red thing he had ever laid eyes on. Out from under it crawled a large man with white hair hanging off of what Dundor presumed to be his face. As he crawled out Dundor could see the man was wearing a red coat. Dundor froze, awe-struck.
All around creatures he had never before witnessed in his life, stood. They had horns like he, himself, but the creatures were smaller. Their noses down to there hooves were different. In fact all but their color and horns, were different then Dundor. One of these creatures sprang away into the forest. Dundor in his awe, did not see the big red man stand up.
Santa, as the big red man is usually called, looked around. Everything was blurry and cracked. He reached up and found his glasses were shattered. Poor Santa could not see very well without his glasses, and he forgot to bring his spare. "Well Christmas must go on, I'll have to make due without them." He squinted as he tried to look around. One of the reindeer on his sleigh has become side tracked during flight, causing the whole sleigh to crash. Santa pushed the sleigh upright again and made sure, nothing had fallen out of his bag.
By now all the reindeer started to gather around Dundor. Dundor turned to run, but they had surrounded him. The big man in red, started walking toward them while mumbling. He came toward Dundor and grabbed him by the antler. "Come on Donner," the big man in red commanded. Before Dundor could react a strange harness was around him and he was hooked onto the fourth row of the sleigh. One by one the reindeer around him were hooked to the sleigh. Santa climbed into the sleigh and with these words, "On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer, on Vixen, on Comet, on Cupid, on Donner, on Blitzen," The sleigh took flight. Poor Dundor though, could not fly. He tried his best, but no. He was lucky that the other reindeer were strong enough to carry his extra weight. They flew for not too far, until the ended up at an orphanage. There they landed on the roof, not too silently thanks to Dundor. The reindeer and Dundor, stayed while Santa gave away the toys. This was Santa's last trip before heading home. He climbed into the sleigh and they began to fly again. The reindeer were getting very tired of carrying Dundor's weight. After a while, they started to fall. With a roar like thunder, they crashed right into the jungle were Dundor lived. The hook that connected the sleigh with the harness on Dundor, snapped. Dundor was free! He thundered off into the woods. On his way he passed a reindeer headed in the opposite direction.
Later Dundor saw a flash of red shoot across the sky and he knew the reindeer and the big man in red, had left. He wished they had taken the harness with them though, but in a way, he always prized the harness. It was a reminder of his adventure.
