Introduction to this Winter Tale
‘Well, it is Christmas time once more again. I hope you have a fire blazing, a nice pot of tea and your favourite chocolate biscuits next to you. Is it snowing outside?

Santa Claus
CHAPTER 1
Crystal white snow lay like a soft blanket over the ploughed fields where a small, wily fox cut a hasty track. The trees looked bare as the autumn and winter winds had taken away their leaves. They were mere skeletons of their summer forms. Above, in their bony boughs, crows and ravens beckoned in the cold December morning. While a little Robin red breast skipped between the hedges

In the middle of the field behind Farmer Smith’s farm yard could be seen a scarecrow; small twigs for arms, an old straw hat, a purple tweed jacket with patches and a pair of baggy grey trousers. A pair of stout old broom handles kept the scarecrow standing very straight. His eyes were made from shiny black buttons, his nose from a carrot and his smiling black mouth from the stroke of paint brush.
From the winter sky swooped down a crow and it landed upon one of the scarecrow’s twig arms. Well Mr Scarecrow you are guarding Farmer Smith’s sprout field this Christmas!
The crow squawked. The scarecrow did not move his beady black eyes from the stalks, on which were hung the growing sprouts. Every year Farmer Smith grew his crop of sprouts to feed his pigs in winter when food was scarce. His children did not like the taste of his fresh sprouts when they were boiled and served with Christmas dinner.
In the field the tallest green stalk carried the most sprouts and the biggest one that had grown. It was upon these stalks
