TWIGMAN FINDS A NEW FAMILY PET

TWIGMAN WAS WALKING THROUGH THE FOREST ONE DAY WHEN HE SAW A REINDEER WITH A SHINY NOSE. TWIGMAN THOUGHT IT WAS RUDOLPH AND SAID, "RUDOLPH WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? YOU SHOULD BE AT THE NORTH POLE WITH SANTA." THE REINDEER DID LOOK A LOT LIKE RUDOLPH EXCEPT IT WAS HANGING ITS HEAD VERY LOW.

THE REINDEER RAISED IT'S HEAD TO SPEAK. "I AM NOT RUDOLPH. I AM RUDOLPH'S SISTER. I AM OLIVE, THE OTHER REINDEER." TWIGMAN ASKED IF OLIVE WAS A PART OF THE SANTA TEAM AND IF SHE WAS LOST. OLIVE SAID SHE WAS NOT PART OF SANTA'S TEAM. SHE HAD LAUGHED AT RUDOLPH AND CALLED HIM NAMES AND EVEN WOULD NOT LET HIM PLAY REINDEER GAMES. SHE WANTED TO WORK FOR SANTA BUT SANTA ONLY NEEDED ONE REINDEER WITH A BRIGHT NOSE TO GUIDE HIS TEAM AND THAT JOB BELONGED TO RUDOLPH. BUT SHE WAS NOT LOST, SHE JUST DID NOT HAVE A HOME.

TWIGMAN SAID OLIVE COULD COME HOME AND BE A PART OF HIS FAMILY. HIS CHILDREN ONLY HAD TOM TURKEY FOR A PET AND THEY WOULD BE VERY HAPPY TO HAVE A NEW FRIEND. WHEN THE TWIGMAN CHILDREN SAW OLIVE THEY SAID, "IT'S RUDOLPH, IT'S RUDOLPH!" TWIGMAN EXPLAINED THE NEW REINDEER WAS OLIVE, NOT RUDOLPH, AND OLIVE NEEDED A HOME. THORNY TWIG, KNOBBY TWIG AND FUZZY TWIG ALL SAID AT THE SAME TIME, "CAN WE KEEP HER, CAN WE KEEP HER, PLEASE DADDY CAN WE KEEP HER! TWIGMAN SAID THEY WOULD NEED TO ASK THEIR MOTHER FIRST.

MAMMA LEAFY TWIG DECIDED OLIVE WOULD BE A FINE FAMILY PET TO GO ALONG WITH TOM TURKEY AND SAID THE CHILDREN COULD KEEP HER BUT THE CHILDREN MUST FEED HER AND TAKE CARE OF HER. ALL THE CHILDREN JUMPED FOR JOY AND SAID YEA, YEA! WE PROMISE TO TAKE REAL GOOD CARE OF HER. AND THE TWIGMAN FAMILY HAD A NEW PET.
