Once upon a time in a forest, there was a holiday resort with wooden cabins and ski slopes. One day, the workers were busy preparing for Christmas when suddenly an elf appeared! He had come to ask for their help because Santa's sleigh was stuck in the snow. The workers quickly jumped on their skidoos and went to find Santa and his sleigh. When they arrived, they found that Santa had fallen off his sleigh and was now lying on the ground. The workers helped him up and brought him back to the holiday resort where he could rest and recover. Santa was so grateful that he asked the workers if they wanted to go skiing with him. The workers happily agreed and joined Santa for a day of fun on the slopes. Meanwhile, back at the resort, the tourists were getting ready for a tour of the forest. They climbed aboard the coach and set off into the forest. Along the way, they saw many beautiful sights and even spotted some elves at work in the forest. They eventually returned to the resort, where they found a big surprise waiting for them! Santa had been busy during the day and had decorated all of their desks with Christmas decorations! The tourists were so happy and thanked Santa for such a wonderful holiday. And the workers, who had helped Santa, felt proud and happy too. From that day on, the holiday resort was known as the most festive place in the forest!
