Santa And Mrs. Claus

She saw them arm in arm on their doorstep. They were looking at the stars.

Santa Claus laughed when he saw the tired little reindeer.

"Ho! Ho! Ho! Look, my dear. A reindeer with an olive for a nose! Goodness! Welcome to the North Pole, little one."

Mrs. Claus smiled. "Well, aren’t you just the cutest thing though! We’ll have to call you Olive. Right, Santa?" Santa nodded. "Do you like cookies, Olive?"

"I don’t know, ma’am," she said.

"Well, try this," said Mrs. Claus. She gave Olive a cookie. "It’s raisin and oatmeal fresh from my bakery."

Olive found it tasty. While she nibbled on it, Mrs. Claus tied a blue bow on her head.

"There, Olive!" Mrs. Claus said, giving her a big hug. "You just needed a mite sprucing up."

"I hope you can stay a while, Olive," said Santa.

Olive felt she'd never see her family again. She was an orphan. So she decided to make the North Pole her home.
