Once upon a time in a holiday resort, there was a coach who took tourists on skiing trips through the forest. One day, an elf snuck onto the coach and went along for the ride. When they got to the wooden cabins, the elf discovered that all the workers were too busy to celebrate Christmas. The elf decided to spread some holiday cheer by using the skidoos to create a reception desk made of snow. The tourists were so impressed, they all joined in and helped decorate the desk with twinkling lights and festive decorations. In the end, everyone had a wonderful Christmas celebration, even the workers who were able to take a break from their duties. The end.

3. How did the tourists and workers react to the elf's decorations?
4. What was the outcome of the elf's actions?
5. If you were the tourist or worker, how would you have reacted to the elf's surprise celebration?
