One frosty morning I, an elf, entered the storage room of Santa’s factory. While I was working, I heard a sound. I looked at the ceiling and saw a very big crack, snow was falling into the room. The other elves were busy getting more toys from Santa’s big bus outside the factory. 

While I was waiting, I was wondering how the roof got a big crack. It was because of the snow storm last night. I called all the elves for a meeting. Then we went into the factory. The snow was melting into water and all the gifts were soggy. What a misfortune! So, all the elves including me thought we would leave that factory for now and start with the other toy factory which was made just in case if there was any emergency.

We went and all of us coordinated among ourselves. After the day passed, we had finished making the gifts at the other toy factory by working day and night. Santa came in and was proud of us as we’d done such a brilliant job. He said that he had seen everything through the CCTV camera. He said that he would give us a big surprise which was a new toy factory, but to get it we all had to wait for Christmas eve.
