"SANTA'S ARK"

MOST ALL STORIES FOR KIDS START OUT "ONCE UPON A TIME IN A FAR AWAY LAND", BUT THIS STORY IS ABOUT NOW, RIGHT HERE IN THESE UNITED STATES, NAMELY, DALLAS, TEXAS. DID YOU EVER WONDER HOW SANTA GETS ALL THE TOYS TO ALL THE TOWNS EACH YEAR? WELL, IT IS REALLY VERY SIMPLE. ABOUT TWO WEEKS BEFORE CHRISTMAS, SANTA SENDS ALL THE TOYS FOR ALL THE KIDS IN THE WORLD TO THE MANY DIFFERENT AIRPORTS EVERYWHERE. WHEN HE ARRIVES AT A LARGE CITY SUCH AS NEW YORK, CHICAGO, LOS ANGELES, AND YES, EVEN DALLAS TEXAS, HIS FIRST STOP IS THE AIRPORT IN THAT CITY. HE LOADS HIS SLEIGH AND DELIVERS THE TOYS TO ABOUT 200 SMALLER TOWNS IN THE AREA. WHEN FINISHED THERE, HE GOES TO THE NEXT BIG CITY AND IT'S THE SAME THING OVER. AIRPORT TO AIRPORT UNTIL EVERY BOY AND GIRL IN THE WORLD HAS NEW TOYS FOR CHRISTMAS. WITH RUDOLPH PULLING HIS SLEIGH ACROSS THE SKY, IT WAS FAST. OUR STORY BEGINS ON CHRISTMAS EVE MORNING AS SANTA WAS LEAVING THE NORTH POLE WITH HIS SLEIGH LOADED. THAT WAY HE COULD MAKE DELIVERIES TO ALL THE SURROUNDING TOWNS CLOSEST TO THE AIRPORT HE WAS GOING TO FIRST. THIS YEAR, 2010, HIS FIRST STOP WAS DALLAS-FT WORTH AIRPORT. AFTER HE STOPPED AT ALL THE TOWNS IN THE AREA, HE HEADED FOR TH DALLAS AIRPORT TO LOAD UP HIUS SLEIGH AGAIN. AS SANTA'S SLEIGH WAS LANDING, A SMALL PRIVATE PLANE CAME ON THE RUNWAY AT THE SAME TIME AND HIT RUDOLPH. LUCKILY RUDOLPH WAS NOT HURT BUT THE CRASH OVERTURNED SANTA'S SLEIGH AND BROKE THE GEAR THAT MAKES SANTA'S SLEIGH FLY ACROSS THE SKY. THE ONLY OTHER GEAR FOR THE SLEIGH WAS BACK AT THE NORTHPOLE AND THERE WASN'T TIME TO GET IT TO DALLAS AND DELIVER TOYS TO ABOUT 99% OF THE CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD. IT LOOKED LIKE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, THERE WOULD BE NO CHRISTMAS. IN LESS THAN 30 MINUTES, THE NEWS SPREAD AND RADIO AND TELEVISION STATIONS EVERYWHERE WAS BROADCASTING THE NEWS THAT THERE WOULD BE NO CHRISTMAS IN 2010. WHAT WAS SANTA TO DO??? A YOUNG LAD IN ONE OF THE SURROUNDING TOWNS THAT SANTA HAD ALREADY BEEN TO, BY THE NAME OF JOSH SANDERS HEARD THE NEWS AS HE WAS CHECKING OUT WHAT SANTA HAD LEFT HIM. HE TOLD HIS MOTHER , ANGIE AND HIS STEP DAD GARY, WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. HE CALLED ONE OF THE LOCAL TV STATIONS AND TOLD THEM HE HAD A PLAN TO GET SANTA BACK IN THE AIR TO COMPLETE CHRISTMAS. ALL HE NEEDED WAS A LARGE AREA TO BUILD SOMETHING. AFTER THE NEWS BROKE ABOUT THE PLEA FROM JOSH, A LOCAL BUSINESS MAN BY THE NAME OF JERRY JONES CALLED THE TV STATION AND WANTED TO KNOW IF COWBOY STADIUM WOULD BE BIG ENOUGH TO SATISFY JOSH AND HIS PLAN. JOSH WHOLE HEARTEDLY AGREED AND JOSH, ANG AND GARY HEADED FOR COWBOY STADIUM. WHEN HE ARRIVED, HE TOLD MR JONES WHAT HE WANTED TO DO AND MR JONES GOT HOLD OF ALL THE SURROUND TOWNS THAT HAD A "TOYS 'R US" STORE AND HAD THE NECESSARY PARTS THAT JOSH NEEDED. JOSH WENT TO WORK ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD AND 2 AND A HALF HOURS LATER AT 1 AM ON CHRISTMAS MORNING, JOSH WAS FINISHED. SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD WAS A LARGE ARK, SORT OF LIKE NOAH'S ARK IN THE BIBLE, BUT THIS WAS SANTA'S ARK. SANTA, RUDOLPH, ALL THE OTHER REINDEER, AND ALL THE TOYS FROM THE AIRPORT HAD BEEN BROUGHT TO COWBOY STADIUM AND LOADED IN SANTA'S ARK. BUT JOSH DIDN'T STOP THERE, HE HAD BROUGHT HIS NEW BIKE THAT SANTA HAD LEFT HIM, AND HE BUILT A SET OF WINGS FOR HIS BIKE, ATTACHED THEM, AND GOT ON HIS BIKE AND TOLD SANTA TO HANG ON, WE WILL SEE IF THIS WORKS. THE WINGS BEGIN TO FLAP UP AND DOWN, THE BIKE AND SANTA'S ARK BEGAN TO MOVE AND LIFTED OFF THE GROUND. JOSH CIRCLED THE FIELD TWICE WITH PEOPLE CHEERING AND THEN THE BIKE, JOSH, AND SANTA'S ARK FLEW OUT THE TOP OF THE OPEN ROOF AT COWBOY STADIUM AND HEADED ACROSS THE SKY. A MAN STANDING NEXT TO ANG AND GARY, LOOKING VERY PUZZLED, SAID HOW DID HE DO THAT, AND HIS MOM SAID, HE BUILT IT OUT OF LEGO'S, AND WHEN IT COMES TO LEGO'S, THAT KID IS A WHIZ AND A MASTER. BY 5AM ON CHRISTMAS MORNING, SANTA'S TRIP WAS FINISHED, AND THANKS TO JOSH SANDERS, EVERY KID EVERYWHERE HAD CHRISTMAS IN 2010. AND THEY ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVERAFTER.....This is TWO TEXAS PAWPAW, signing off.
