Read together
Once upon a time, there was an elf named Timmy. Timmy worked for Santa in the North Pole and was in charge of driving the sleigh to deliver presents to all the good children on Christmas Eve.
One day, Timmy had a brilliant idea! Instead of delivering presents, he would deliver candy! He gathered all the candy he could find and loaded it into the sleigh.
But when Santa found out what Timmy had done, he was very upset. "Timmy, we cannot deliver candy to the children. We must deliver presents."
Timmy was disappointed but then he had another idea. He would decorate the sleigh with wreaths made of candy and turn the reindeer into candy-delivering reindeer!
Santa was hesitant, but he finally agreed. On Christmas Eve, Timmy drove the sleigh filled with candy and pulling the candy-delivering reindeer. The children were so happy when they saw the sleigh and the snowman made of candy!
And that’s how Timmy became known as the Candy Elf and made Christmas even sweeter for all the children!
