TWIGMAN FAMILY MEETS RUDOLPH

ONE DAY WHEN TWIGMAN WAS WORKING IN THE FOREST HE SAW A REINDEER WITH A VERY STRANGE NOSE. TWIGMAN SAID, "WHY DOES YOUR NOSE LOOK SO STRANGE?" THE REINDEER SAID HIS NOSE WAS NOT STRANGE IT JUST GLOWED A LITTLE BIT AND IT WAS VERY USEFUL. TWIGMAN ASKED WHY THE REINDEER NOSE GLOWED AND THE ANSWER WAS, "IT GLOWS BECAUSE MY NAME IS RUDOLPH AND I USE MY NOSE TO GUIDE THE SANTA CLAUS SLEIGH ON FOGGY CHRISTMAS NIGHTS." TWIGMAN SAID, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE IN THE FOREST SO NEAR TO CHRISTMAS TIME?" THE REPLY WAS A SIMPLE, "I AM LOST." AND THEN RUDOLPH ASKED TWIGMAN IF HE COULD SHOW HIM THE WAY TO THE NORTH POLE."

TWIGMAN SAID HE WOULD SHOW RUDOLPH THE WAY BUT IT WOULD NEED TO BE DURING THE DARK OF NIGHT. THEY COULD GO BACK TO MEET THE TWIGMAN FAMILY AND WAIT FOR DARKNESS. WHEN THEY CAME NEAR TO THE HOUSE, THE CHILDREN SAW THE REINDEER AND SHOUTED,"IT'S RUDOLPH!", AS THEY RAN TO MEET THEIR NEW FRIEND.

WHEN NIGHT CAME TWIGMAN SHOWED RUDOLPH THE NORTH STAR AND TOLD HIM TO FOLLOW IT TO THE NORTH POLE. AFTER THEY ALL SAID GOOD BYE, RUDOLPH FLEW OFF TO THE NORTH POLE AND THORNY TWIG ASKED HIS DAD A QUESTION. "HOW CAN A REINDEER WHO GETS LOST LEAD THE SLEIGH FOR SANTA?" TWIGMAN SAID, "I DON'T KNOW SON BUT I SURE HOPE HE FINDS HIS WAY BACK HERE FOR CHRISTMAS." ALL THE TWIGMAN CHILDREN SAID, "AND SO DO WE!"

DURING THE NIGHT ON CHRISTMAS EVE THE TWIG CHILDREN HEARD A LOUD NOISE ON THEIR ROOF AND RAN OUTSIDE TO LOOK. SANTA AND ALL HIS REINDEER WERE JUST TAKING OFF AFTER HIS VISIT TO THEIR HOME. RUDOLPH HAD FOUND HIS WAY BACK FOR CHRISTMAS.
