Mikey’s Elf Adventure: An Unexpected Journey

F L A E D V S E ’ N T Y U E R K E: I M AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY

One icy winter morning just a few days before Christmas, the Elves were busy getting everything sorted for the holiday season.

When suddenly, the EMERGENCY ALARM BLASTED through the North Pole and echoed through all the workshops.

Mikey, the honorary Christmas Elf opened the reindeer barn doors to find that ALL THE

REINDEERS HAD GONE MISSING! There were only a few days left before Christmas and the Elves were frantically finding ways to make sure Christmas will be ready in time.

For example...

Mikey quickly came up with a BRILLIANT PLAN:

“If we can’t travel by sky…we ’ ll travel by sea! ”,

COLLECTING THE LARGEST SNOWBALLS as fuel,

he created a manual called

‘HOW TO DELIVER CHRISTMAS: A GUIDE FOR SAILOR ELVES’ to help all the Elves become top notch Christmas-saving sailors.

The manual was incredibly detailed and goes through all the different tasks they need to complete before their voyage.

PREPARING ALL THE FOOD for the crewmembers’ long journey,

and MAPPING OUT ALL THE ROUTES to different cities around the world.

As soon as they docked at their first station in HONG KONG – they scurried before nightfall to make sure everything was ready.

Not only did they place BRIGHT SPARKLES in the sea along the Victoria Harbour, they also put EXTRA GLOW in all the Christmas lights on the skyscrapers and Christmas trees.

While Mikey was busy getting everything in order, he wondered if they could still deliver all the presents around the world on time. He thought to himself,

‘If only we knew where the reindeers were, they could deliver all these gifts in an instant! ’.

Back at the North Pole, the Head Reindeer Trainer Mr. Louie figured out what happened to all the reindeers!

It turned out that one MISCHIEVOUS group of Christmas Critters decided it would be a fun idea to secretly sneak the reindeers out for a snowball fight while no one was looking.

The Christmas Critters apologized and promised to help with the Christmas preparation in any way they could.

Mr. Louie quickly gathered up the reindeers back into their stables and brought extra carrots as fuel to speed up the gift delivery.

The Elves, on the other hand, focused on making sure that all the CHRISTMAS MAGIC and decorations were brilliantly spread across the world.

In the nick of time, just as the sky began to turn dark on Christmas Eve, MIKEY AND

THE WHOLE ELF CREW SAVED CHRISTMAS ONCE AGAIN!
