It was Christmas Eve. Donna knew there was not much money, so she might not get all her presents on Christmas. Donna thought longingly of the pink bicycle that she wanted. Later, when Donna was sleeping, a sound, like a tiny tinkling bell, woke her up. She saw a beautiful fairy. The fairy said, “I have an urgent message from Santa Claus. He needs a helper. Will you help?” Donna nodded her head. Soon, she found herself sitting in a sleigh along with Santa. It was so much fun distributing the presents. When all had been delivered, Donna found herself in her own little bed. She heard Grandfather calling out, “Merry Christmas, Donna.” Leaning against her bed was a beautiful pink bicycle. From the handlebars, hung a label which said–‘To Donna, a very good girl. Merry Christmas!’ Donna thought, just for a moment that Grandfather looked just like Father Christmas.
