Once upon a time, in a holiday resort surrounded by a forest, there was an elf named Ski who loved skiing more than anything. One day, Ski was skiing down the slopes when he saw a group of workers who were lost and couldn't find their way back to the wooden cabins. Ski decided to help them and showed them the way back.

The next day, Ski was skiing again when he heard a noise coming from the forest. He went to check it out and found a group of tourists who were stuck on their skidoos. They had come to the holiday resort to celebrate Christmas but were now in trouble. Ski, being the helpful elf that he is, offered to help them.

He led the tourists to the wooden cabins and told them to wait there while he went to find a coach. After a short search, Ski found a coach and brought it back to the tourists. They all boarded the coach and set off for the holiday resort.

As they were driving through the forest, they suddenly heard a loud noise. It was Santa Claus and his reindeer! Santa was so impressed with Ski's kindness and helpfulness that he invited him to join him on his Christmas deliveries.

From that day on, Ski became known as the skiing elf who helped tourists and workers in need. He joined Santa on his deliveries every year and continued to ski and have fun at the holiday resort. The End.
