Once upon a time, in a holiday resort surrounded by a beautiful forest, there lived a group of elves who worked as receptionists at the desk. One day, a group of tourists arrived to spend their Christmas holiday skiing and riding skidoos. The coach dropped them off at the wooden cabins, and the tourists were greeted by the friendly elves at the reception.

The elves showed the tourists around the resort and explained how everything worked. However, one of the tourists was not interested in skiing or riding skidoos. Instead, she wanted to explore the forest and see what kind of creatures lived there.

The elves were worried about the tourist wandering off on her own, so they decided to send one of their own to accompany her. The elf agreed and set off with the tourist into the forest.

As they walked, the tourist and the elf came across a group of workers who were building a new ski run. The workers were so busy that they didn't even notice the two visitors. The tourist and the elf decided to have some fun and started sliding down the freshly groomed snow on their bottoms.

The workers were so surprised when they finally noticed the two visitors sliding down the ski run that they couldn't help but join in on the fun. They all slid down the ski run together, laughing and having a great time.

When they finally reached the bottom, they all headed back to the reception, where they told everyone about their fun adventure in the forest. From that day on, sliding down the ski run on their bottoms became a popular activity among the tourists and the elves at the holiday resort.

The end.
