Once upon a time, there was a magical candle that could bring Santa Claus to life. One day, a curious little girl lit the candle and sure enough, Santa Claus appeared! But there was a problem - his hat was missing. The little girl and Santa searched high and low, but couldn't find it anywhere. Just then, an elf appeared and suggested they look in the fireplace. To their surprise, Santa’s hat was sitting on top of the fire, surrounded by snowflakes. The snowman who lived nearby offered to help retrieve the hat, but he was too big to fit into the fireplace. Suddenly, the sound of ringing bells filled the air and Santa remembered that he had forgotten to deliver presents to the North Pole! He quickly put on his hat, said goodbye to the little girl and the elf, and disappeared into the night, leaving behind a trail of snowflakes. And that is how the little girl learned that even Santa needs a little help sometimes!
