STORYTIME: Santa´s Stocking -- Part 2


... The little girl wondered about this as she slowly got closer and closer to Santa Claus. Now there was only one small boy in front of her, waiting impatiently with his Christmas list firmly held in one hand. Soon it would be her turn and she knew exactly what she was going to do. When Santa´s helper motioned her to come up, she sat on Santa´s lap. "Now," said Santa, "what would you like for Christmas?" The little girl smiled and said, "I want a dollhouse, please. But now I ask you Santa, what would you like for Christmas?" Santa opened up his eyes so wide, for a minute it seemed like they would pop! "What?", he asked. "Yes, every year, you give us all presents, but who fills up your stocking, Santa? That´s why I want to know, what do you want for Christmas?" Santa cleared his throat, "Weeelll, I guess no one had ever asked me that before. I´ll have to think about it." "Well then," said the little girl, "I´ll come back tomorrow..." She hugged Santa good-bye and jumped off his lap.
