Once upon a time, at a holiday resort in the forest, all the workers were elves who lived in wooden cabins. They loved to ski and take tourists on skidoos to show them the beautiful scenery. One Christmas, the elves went on strike because they wanted a coach to take them on their ski trips instead of riding skidoos. The tourists were upset because they wanted to see the forest on skidoos. So, the elves decided to give the tourists a treat and took them skiing on the coach. The tourists loved it and even asked for the coach to be used all year round. And that's how the elves became the best ski guides in the forest!
