Santa is always very thirsty when he arrives under the
Christmas tree. All that lugging and all that travelling in cold air is thirsty
work. This is why we leave him a glass of milk before we go to bed on Christmas
Eve.
One Christmas poor Santa discovers that every glass of milk
under every tree he arrives under with his heavy bag of presents is gone, no
more. Some glasses are empty, others have been knocked over and the milk
spilled.
Boy, was Santa thirsty!
He was also a bit confused. Why was all the milk missing or
messed?
Hmm, he decided to send an elf to investigate this thirsty
dilemma. The elf discovered a cat in the third home he visited during his
search for an answer, but it wasn't any old cat. It was Mrs Claus’s tabby
called Little Scarlet!
When the elf asked why he drank all the milk, Little Scarlet
told him he did so because Mrs Claus said he is fat and promised he would no
longer find any milk in his bowl at the North Pole. He would get only water. Little
Scarlet decided to hitch a secret ride in the sleigh, because he didn't like
water!
When Santa heard about this from the elf, he promised to
always keep some of the milk waiting under the Christmas tree. Santa promised Little
Scarlet he would bring the milk back to the North Pole, and it would be their
little secret.
This year Santa expects to quench his thirst when he arrives
under the tree lugging his heavy bag. Be sure to leave some milk for him and
for Little Scarlet!
