Goldy zipped up her cozy red coat and tugged on her fluffy hat as snowflakes twirled all around her.
“This doesn’t look like my backyard,” she said with a happy wag of her tail.
Suddenly, a shiny wooden sign appeared in the snow:
WELCOME TO THE NORTH POLE
Jingle bells jingled nearby, and a group of friendly elves waved.
“Hi, Goldy! We could use a little help,” one elf said.
Santa’s toy list had blown away in the winter wind! Goldy sniffed the snowy air, followed the twinkling trail, and found the list tucked behind a stack of colorful presents.
“You did it!” the elves cheered.
Santa laughed his big, jolly laugh.
“Thank you, Goldy! Christmas magic is safe again.”
As snow sparkled in the moonlight, Goldy smiled proudly. Helping others made the North Pole feel just like home.
✨ The End ✨
