Once upon a time, there was a candle who lived in a chimney. He loved to burn brightly and spread joy to all the children in the village. One day, he heard that Santa was coming to town and he wanted to leave a present for him. So he thought of a plan. He took one of his socks and filled it with lights and garland. He then placed it on the chimney top as a special surprise for Santa. When Santa finally came by, he was so thrilled to see the candle's gift and laughed out loud. He said, "What a creative and fun present! Thank you, my friend!" And from that day on, the candle was known as the most festive chimney in the village and everyone loved to come and visit him during the holidays. The End.
