The Elves’ Strike

by Kaylyn Gibbs aged 10

Once upon a time santa and his elves were working at the workshop because it was Christmas Eve night. One of the elves asked Santa if presents could be for elves and the children. He said No! Santa found out in the rule book that only children can have presents on Christmas. The elf got mad because he could not have presents. So he went on a small strike. Santa said Okay, but be back in a little bit. The elf said Okay. Then the rest of the elves said We’re going on a strike too, Santa. HO HO HO Okay… When they went on the strike they got lost on an iceberg. They floated away and ended up floating to a island. They got off of the iceberg and walked around the island to see what they could find, not realizing that they had to get back and make presents for all the children around the world. After walking around one of the elve’s watches started to blink to let him know how much time they had to left to get all the gifts ready and load Santas sleigh. They all became nervous and wondered how they were going to get back to the North Pole in time.. Well, while they were wondering how to get back, Santa was already on his sleigh with his magic candy cane. His magic candy cane showed him where all the elves were.. Santa arrived…. Oh Santa, we are so sorry that we were being selfish about getting presents. It’s alright as long as you all have learned your lesson, Santa said. Yes we have, said the elves, and we will never go on strike again… On the way back to the North Pole they all sang Christmas songs… They got back just in time to finish making presents… Santa was happy and CHRISTMAS WAS SAVED….

    Hi Kaylyn. We don’t usually accept stories on the Poetry Zone but as it’s Christmas, and a lovely story, we’ll make an exception.
