When all of the rest were tuckered in bed, I was staying awake instead. Christmas Eve had been good to me; I saw “If s a Wonderful Life” on TV! I turned off the tube and looked out the window and saw a big sleigh with a sparka-ty glow. My eyes opened up as I saw it draw near, and through the thick snow I saw nine big reindeer! (I must take a sec to clear up that last line; their leader was Rudolph; that’s why there were nine.) I heard a big clomp and a rustle of trees. Someone was coming right down the chimney! I said, “Oh, my gosh!
This cannot be true!” And right then and there, I knew what to do. I ran to the telephone, quick as I could, and soon the policemen outside my house stood. They took him away, so hear this for all time: Breaking and entering’s a serious crime.
