Running here, running
there...Santa's elves are
very busy.
"I wish I could be
there to help feed the
reindeer and polish all the
brass bells," said Aska. |
|
 |
 |
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
Hanae
thought of
another wish. "I wish
Santa could bring Rudolph
to Komoro. It would
make
the whole town happy." |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
| |
"I just thought of a
bigger wish," said Hanae.
"I wish Santa Claus would
come with ALL his reindeer
and take me for a ride.
Up, up, and away we would
fly. I would wear a green
suit to match the color of
Santa's green sleigh. As I
fly by, I might even shake
a bell or two myself." |
|
|
 |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
| |
 |
|
"Well, I have a
bigger,bigger, BIGGER
wish," cried Aska.
"I can't
write it down, it is so
BIG. I wish all the
children in Komoro,
could
take turns flying around
with Santa Claus. I can
just see the BIG smiles" |
|

Hanae, Aska,
Haruna
and Kyoko were enjoying
this pretend game very
much. They started wishing
they could go to see where
Santa and Mrs. Claus lived.
They had been told that the
walk way to the front door
was lined with candy canes ! |
|
|
 |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
| |
 |
|
All of a sudden, they
found themselves sitting at
Santa's table. Santa was
reading through his very
long list of names of
children who had been very
good. Hanae, Aska,
Haruna
and Kyoko their names
were on the list. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
| |
"Welcome to our home
Hanae. would you and
your friend like some
cookies, "asked Mrs. Claus.
"Santa and I will sing you
some Christmas songs. How
about Silent Night, or
Jingle Bells ? Yes, Jingle
Bells," and they began to
sing. |
|
|
 |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
| |
 |
|
The music could be
heard in the workshop where
the elves were working very
hard. One elf was painting
some finishing touches on
the roof of a doll house.
''I wonder if one of the
elves made that little
doll,'' said Hanae,
''I would
like to have that as a gift
for myself.'' |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Hanae
saw an elf
pick up a colorful book
telling about the real
meaning of Christmas. She
thought it seemed like a
good idea to add the book
to her Wish list. |
|
|
 |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
"This has been a very
exciting adventure to visit
Santa and Mrs. Claus and to
see how hard all the elves
work to get ready for
Christmas," said Hanae.
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
| |
As Hanae,
Aska, Haruna
and Kyoko watched Santa
load his sleigh, they
realized that it was time
to say good-bye. "Before
we go," said Hanae,
"we
have just one last wish.... |
