Once upon a time at a holiday resort on the top of a mountain, there were lots of wooden cabins, ski slopes and a big desk at the reception. On Christmas Eve, all the tourists went skiing and the workers took off for the day. Suddenly, an elf appeared out of nowhere and asked for a skidoo ride. The coach, who was in charge of the skidoos, gave the elf a ride and they zoomed off into the forest. They had so much fun that the elf invited the coach to come to his workshop to help him wrap presents for all the good boys and girls. The coach agreed and they spent the whole day wrapping and having a jolly good time. The next day, when the tourists woke up, they saw that all the presents were magically placed under their cabins' Christmas trees. They were all very surprised and grateful, and they all had a wonderful holiday. The end.

2. Why did the coach agree to go to the elf's workshop?
3. How did the tourists feel when they saw presents under their cabin's Christmas trees?
4. Who was in charge of the skidoos at the holiday resort?
5. What did the coach and the elf do all day in the workshop?
