it been a while but i am still here this is is my latest christ story i hope you like it
Leroy the reindeer
king
Welcome and come on in, I am Professor Henry Pennywhistle,
the wise old owl and historian of the Great North Woods. I have a story to tell
you of reindeer, witches and Christmas. It was a time ago, not to long but a
while back, any way it was some time ago. It was Christmas Eve and we were waiting
for the birth of Melvin and Nancy’s first calf, it had been foretold that it
would be special because the good witch Zendel had put a spell on it. It was
one minute pasted midnight and he was born. And any male deer born on Christmas
would be the next king of the Christmas reindeer herd. But what a site he was
he had a big round nose that kind of drooped, and long legs with knobby knees
and big feet, he was black and his legs were white. Zendel took one look and
said “oh my deer what have I done” and she was off on her broom to find the
spell she had used. Many of the old cows were saying she must have been fooling
around that thing does not look like Melvin or a reindeer, it look more like a
moose than a reindeer. I could tell Leroy was going to have a hard time.
Now Melvin was off waking up the herd to brag about his new
son and give out cigars to all who wanted one. He did not care how Leroy look
he was his son, and he was on the council of elders. The old bucks congratulated
him but said things badly about Leroy behind his back they call him old droopy nose.
As time went on Leroy was off to school and was an excellent
student, he study hard day and night. But he was a little angsts to show how
smart he was and would not let the other student answer. The teacher had to
tell him to let the others answer. And the student started to call him name
like droopy nose smart de pants. When they went out to play they would call him
names and run off, leaving him alone. One day he wandered off down by the wolves
and they tried to attack him, and found him more than they could handle. He step
in the middle of one and made him holler from the pain of his heavy feet. But Melvin
and some others came to the rescue, and chase off the wolves. Leroy was so sad
he wish the wolves had got him.
It was time for Leroy first rut. His antlers were very small
so he found some branches to tie to his small horns and prance around the
meadow with all the other. Then he was challenge to a face off. There he was to
face down for the first time a young buck with a full set of antlers. They moved
to the middle of the meadow and made ready for the charge. Leroy was scared and
when he lower his head to position his fake antlers they fell off and he ran
from the meadow to the sideline to hide a misted a loud roar of laughter and
distain.
Comet was holding sled pulling class, and it was Leroy turn,
they had to make a special harness for him he was so big. Some of his class
mates decided to make it hard for Leroy, they load the sled with everything
they could find. Leroy got ready to pull the sled down to the end of the meadow
and back, as fast as he could. He was off in a shot and the sled bounce and the
load went everywhere. Comet explain that
he needed to pull the sled not fly it. Comet had the heckler help pick up the
load and reload the sled and bring it back to the start.
Leroy was very sad and want to die, he had no friend and no
one to talk to, and then Rudolf came for a visit, and all though they were
cousin they hit it off. Rudolf had been through much of the same harassments,
and knew how he felt. They played reindeer games and had fun. The herd saw and remembered
how they treated Rudolf many years ago, and started to like Leroy.
It was now the time of the forth rut and Leroy had grown bigger
and had a massive set of antlers. He paraded the meadow showing off his big
horns and challenged any and all comers to a face off, five would be a good
number all at once he said. Some of the old buck said they needed to take him
down a notch of two and three young bucks joined in for the challenge. They face
off in the middle of the meadow. Leroy stood there and lowered his head to
position his antlers, paw the ground a time or two and waited. The five made
ready to charge pawing the ground the charging. But they look up and saw the
twelve by six foot antlers of Leroy, they broke in different direction some
flying overhead and the others back peddling to save grace, and a bad collision. Leroy was the victor, and caught the attention
of one Daisy who was visiting her aunt, she was a moose. This was to be a good thing. And it would pass they would be together.
The wolves were howling and making advance on the herd at
the other end of the meadow and had the eye on some helpless young reindeer, Leroy
turn and head full steam at the wolves, plowing the snow as he went and caught
the wolves in his wake pushing them back twenty miles and saving the young reindeer. The herd hail Leroy
for his bravery. Hollering hail to the king. Long live Leroy the king
How thing were getting time to name the king of the reindeer
herd and the only contender was Leroy. The council had met and was ready to
name the king. Zendel the witch had return and said that Grendel the wicked
witch of the north had block her spell on Leroy. So the council had no choice
but to name Leroy king of the herd.
merry Christmas and god bless
