Once upon a time, there was an elf named Elvin who lived in a holiday resort in the forest. The resort had wooden cabins for tourists to stay in and a reception desk where they could check in. One day, the workers at the resort decided to have a skiing competition on Christmas Day. Elvin wanted to join in but he didn't know how to ski.

Elvin went to the reception desk and asked the coach if he could teach him how to ski. The coach agreed and every day after work, Elvin would practice on the slopes. On Christmas morning, all the tourists woke up early and went outside to watch the competition. Elvin was nervous, but he was determined to show everyone what he had learned.

When it was his turn, Elvin put on his skis and took off down the slope. But instead of skiing, he accidentally got on a skidoo and zoomed down the mountain! All the tourists and workers were cheering and laughing as Elvin rode the skidoo past the finish line.

From that day on, Elvin became known as the "skidoo elf" and every Christmas, the tourists would look forward to seeing him race down the mountain on his skidoo. The end.
