A Christmas lesson. The story of Rudolph the reindeer

This is the story of Rudolph the reindeer, which no one wanted to be so ugly, well that's what Renato the old reindeer said, who had accompanied Santa Claus for many years in the world giving gifts. When he bent one of his legs he could not work anymore and became a bitter reindeer, in a bad mood, who mistreated the flock and even the children. After having been so good to them, they now annoyed him and even made fun of those of their own kind.For example when Rodolfo was born the reindeer the first thing he said was: What an ugly reindeer !, haha ​​has a red nose, hahaha, so Santa Claus will never choose it, because it is more likely to scare the children, hahaha and if a reindeer does not work with Santa Claus, so that it was born jajjajajajjaja

And all the other reindeers also made fun of Rodolfo singing him:

It was Rodolfo a reindeer

that had a nose

red like a scarlet

and a singular shine

Lalalalalalala lalalalá

The old reindeer Renato

, lived in a cabin in the north pole, surrounded by lots of snow, almost neighbor with Santa Claus. Rodolfo who lived nearby also, when he was little, saw with admiration Renato the reindeer, who was then young, along with Santa Claus full of gifts.

Rodolfo's parents were the favorite reindeer of Santa Claus and every Christmas they were happy to distribute gifts around the world. Rodolfo, as a child, did not go with them, and they would not let him out like the other small reindeer, because his nose was red and his parents were ashamed of him and hid him.But Rodolfo was mischievous and escaped, the bad thing was that when he met the old reindeer, he mocked him, then Rodolfo ran to the forest to hide and that was where he met other animals, which became his best friends: Fofó the horse, Fifi the sheep and Fefé the owl that knows everything and sees everything. The owl said:

- Rodolfo, you have to have patience, the others have to value us for what we are inside and not for what is seen out. I am sure that now that you have grown up, Santa Claus will see you and choose you without hesitation. In your eyes you see kindness, your love for children and your desire to work. You will see that day will come.

- I hope that moment arrives. It was a week before Christmas when a new animal arrived in the forest, it came from far away, it was similar to a horse but it was slow, it had long and stopped ears, it was a donkey, a donkey shivering cold in the north pole.

- Hi, I'm Paco, the sausage burrito, I'm on my way to Bethlehem. Is this true here?

- Uyy you did miss you Where are you coming from? said the sheep.

- I come from the Venezuelan savannah, I'm on my way to Bethlehem, to know the land where Jesus was born, since my tátara tátara tátara grandfather was the famous Burrito sabanero, the one who went to Bethlehem to the birth of the baby Jesus and now I, like his tátara tátara tátara grandson, I've started the same trip but I think I'm lost.

- And you're alone? Fofó asked the horse.

- Yes, nobody wanted to accompany me, said the burrito sadly.

- Do not worry, you are no longer alone, no one can be alone at Christmas, you will stay with us until you find the right path to Bethlehem. Excited Fifi said the sheep.

It was then that Rodolfo also met the burrito Paco.

The next day

was the choice of reindeer for Santa Claus,

all were well bathed, combed, eaten and even the snout had been washed with mint leaves found in the forest. Rodolfo looked from afar, hidden, but ready to leave at any moment. His friends Fofó the horse, Fifi the sheep, Fefé the owl who knows everything and sees everything and his new friend Paco, the new burrito sabanero, encouraged him to take a step forward and present himself before Santa Claus. While Santa was addressing the reindeer: - As you know, every year we celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus, he came to earth to give us a message of peace and love, to live in harmony, with respect and affection, so to celebrate this event is that I was asked to give gifts to the children of the world who have been good and every year I need help, I have to choose the best reindeer in the universe for each Christmas campaign. Let's start with the selection, said Santa Claus.

Let's see, stand up, I'm going to review the legs, the neck, the tail, and the eyes, since a Christmas reindeer has to be perfect, it must be strong, it must be well fed since the trip is long and The job of delivering gifts is hard enough, but above all they have to show love to children.

That's when one of the reindeer said:

- Bah, I just like to pull the sled, I do not like children. Se Santa approached him and said: Then you have nothing to do here, we will give opportunity to those who are interested, please withdraw ... en And at that time Rodolfo was armed with courage, thanks to his friends who encouraged him and he appeared before Santa Claus saying:

- Santa Clauss, with all the respect he deserves, here I am, my name is Rodolfo and I would like to work with you.

- So, hmm let me see you, hmmm you look very well fed, strong and good size and your nose! What happened to your nose? Así - That's how I was born Santa Claus, with a red nose like scarlet, ask my parents, it's them, your favorite reindeer.

And Santa Claus addressing them said:

- And why did they hide it all this time?

- Sorry Santa, we did not want you to make fun of him.

- You should never be ashamed of a son, a son is a treasure to be cared for, it is a gift from God, look, Rodolfo is unique with that red nose jojojo I am sure that it will be the delight of all the children of the world, jojojo .

Everyone fell silent without knowing what to say until their parents said:

- If Santa is true, our son is the best thing that has happened to us, from now on it will be different, it will be our pride before all and we will never return to hide.

The other reindeer, they kept thinking

and they did not laugh anymore about Rodolfo's nose.

- I think you're a perfect reindeer for my trips, also with that red nose, I'm sure the children will adore you, plus you have a clean look, welcome to the trip of Christmas gifts, jojojo. Gracias - Thank you Santa, I will not disappoint you, but first I want to ask you a favor, I have a friend who has come from far away, he is a donkey who wants to know Bethlehem, and he has made the same journey as his great uncle tátara tátara el Abuelo el Burrito Sabanero, is here, but very lost Can we leave it in Bethlehem?

- Oh the famous Burrito Sabanero, who was on his way to Bethlehem to see the birth of the baby Jesus, of course, come, it's Christmas, jojojo We'll leave it in Bethlehem!

Immediately, Paco approached the new Burrito Sabanero and all together enjoyed a great farewell party, there were the reindeer and friends of Rodolfo, Fofó the horse, Fifi the sheep and Fefé the owl who knows everything and sees everything .

The reindeer decided to add some verses to the song they always sang to Rodolfo and that was how the whole song was born.

So Santa Claus with the reindeer came to every corner of the world looking for children who had behaved well, leaving them a beautiful gift and found in each home, milk, cookies and above all a lot of love, as they saw the families gathered, praying, thanking for the Christmas dinner, thanking God for life and family, celebrating that Jesus was celebrating his birthday and that it was worth living among all of us to leave his message to all humanity, to love and respect God and our neighbor . Merry Christmas for all jojojo.
