Little reindeer was too young to be with his mum and dad. “You will be a good deer for Auntie Ruth,” they reminded him as they went to help Santa. “Next year, you will be big enough to help us,” they said happily.
Little reindeer nodded and waved goodbye, tears welling up in his eyes. He felt a pang of sadness and loneliness in his heart. “I’ll miss you so much,” he whispered to his mum and dad.
Auntie Ruth was a kind and gentle deer, who lived in a cozy cottage in the woods. She welcomed little reindeer with a warm hug and a cup of hot cocoa. She told him stories of her adventures with Santa and the other reindeer. She showed him pictures of the places she had visited and the people she had met. She made him laugh with her jokes and songs, and soon little reindeer felt much better. He realized that Auntie Ruth was not just his aunt, but also his friend. He decided to make the best of his time with her, and learn from her wisdom and experience. He hoped that one day, he would be able to fly with his mum and dad, and make them proud.
Little reindeer had a lucky star. He told the lucky star to take him to Lapland with Santa. The lucky star twinkled and granted his wish. He flew across the sky, feeling the wind in his fur and the joy in his soul. He arrived at Santa’s workshop, where he saw his mum and dad waiting for him. They were overjoyed to see him and hugged him tightly. “Look who’s here,” Santa said with a smile. He gave little reindeer a glass of hot milk and a candy cane. “You are a very special deer, little reindeer. You have a big heart and a bright future. I’m proud of you,” Santa said. Little reindeer thanked Santa and his lucky star. He knew his lucky star would be looking after him. the end
