Ace the T-Rex saves Christmas
Aarav, Packy the pachycephalosaurus, Bruce the brachiosaurus, and Ace the T-Rex were all very excited for Christmas. They had made their lists and shared them with each other three days before the holiday.
On Christmas Eve, they all went to bed feeling happy and content. They put milk and cookie by fire place for Santa, played board game for sometime and went to sleep. For some reason, in the middle of the night, Aarav woke up and saw something strange. There was Ace, riding in Santa's sleigh! Aarav couldn't believe his eyes. He quickly woke up Packy and Bruce and the three of them watched in amazement as Ace flew through the night sky. They found it surprising and wondered if they were dreaming.
In the morning, when they all woke up, they couldn't wait to open their presents. Aarav received a remote control race car, Packy got a big piece of wood to practice making his head strong exactly as he wanted, and Bruce received a tree with lots of mangoes. Ace, however, received a Christmas hat.
They were still discussing about what they saw at night, and couldn’t believe how to even talk to Ace. Aarav made the attempt and confronted Ace about why he was in Santa's sleigh, he told them a surprising story. It turns out that last year, Santa had gotten sick and Ace had volunteered to deliver gifts on his behalf. Ace and Santa had known each other for a long time, and Ace couldn't say no when Santa asked for his help.
But as it turned out, there was more to the story than that. Ace revealed that he had actually been secretly working for Santa for years, helping him deliver gifts to all the good boys and girls around the world. Aarav, Packy, and Bruce were shocked by this revelation, but they were also grateful to Ace for keeping the magic of Christmas alive.
They couldn’t believe that they are friend with Santa. Specially Packy was very excited, as he can now get as many gifts as he wants all day. To which Ace rolled his eyes, and told him “That’s not how it works”. You have to be a good boy thru out the year, and it’s only on the Christmas day.
The four friends spent the rest of the day enjoying their gifts and spending time together. It was a Christmas they would never forget, and they knew that they had Ace to thank for making it all possible.
