Santa Borrows a Helicopter

One Christmas Eve, Santa had a big problem. All the gifts were packed and ready to load, but when it came time to leave the reindeer were too sick to fly. At first, Santa tied a bag of gifts to a tricycle, but the tricycle refused to budge, so next he tied the bag to a bicycle. After Santa wrecked the bicycle, the elves offered to lend a hand and then an eager group of penguins. When they failed, Mr.
Abominable Snowman attempted to carry the load but couldn't get off the ground, so Santa pulled out an old motorbike. After the motorbike refused to start, a polar bear offered to lend a paw until he fell into the snow, so some Canadian geese offered the use of their wings, but after much flapping around they had to admit defeat. Christmas Eve was slipping away, and all looked lost, until Santa remembered an old friend who owned a helicopter. Fortunately, his friend agreed to fly over so Santa could deliver the gifts and another Christmas Day went into the record books.
So, if you ever hear a whirling sound over your roof, don't worry. The reindeer are probably sick again and it's just Santa delivering Christmas presents from a helicopter.
