Santa Is Stuck In the Chimney
By: Paulina
One chilly Christmas Eve Paulina was tucked in bed with her cozy blanket. All of a sudden Paulina heard a THUMP! She thought she might have bumped into the wall. Paulina tried to go back to sleep, but she just couldn’t fall asleep. Paulina was too excited about Christmas. Paulina looked out the window and she heard the THUMP again.
Paulina was getting closer to it. Paulina looked in every room downstairs, but the noise wasn’t in any of the rooms. Paulina decided get a drink from the kitchen. The cookies and milk were still there that she had left for Santa. As she was about go upstairs she heard a asked, “Is it you voice calling help! She went closer to the fire place and stuck her hand into the chimney and felt something fluffy and she Santa? Yes it is,” a voice exclaimed back.“Are you stuck in my chimney?” asked Paulina. “Yes I am,” sobbed Santa. “Oh dear, Santa! I will try my best to get you out,” cried Paulina.
Paulina thought to herself. First I will try pull Santa out with a rope. Paulina quickly got a rope from the garage. Paulina tied the rope around Santa’s belly and started to pull and pull as hard as she could. It just wouldn’t work. Only Santa’s toy bag fell out. Paulina didn’t want to give up because she knew that Santa still had a lot of presents to deliver. Paulina tried again and pulled so hard that her face turned red from trying to pull Santa out.Only Santa’s toy bag fell out.
Paulina decided to use a different idea. She decided to mix soap and water together. Paulina would tell the elves to pour the soap and water down the chimney and hopefully Santa would fall out with a THUMP. Santa agreed to the idea. Paulina got straight to work. She mixed the soap and water together and quickly went into the garage. She got a ladder and climbed onto the roof and gave the bucket of soap and water to the elves. Paulina ran into the house and THUMP, Santa fell on the ground. Santa exclaimed, “Thank you! Now you go to sleep and I will fill each of your stockings with toys. Paulina replied, “Thank you Santa and have a safe night! Don’t forget I left some yummy cookies for you!”
Merry Christmas!

Excellent work, Paulina! Your story had a beginning, middle, and end. Your ideas to get Santa out of the chimney were logical and I like how you explained each idea well. You did a terrific job of explaining where you got the rope and tying it around Santa’s belly. I can imagine Paulina’s face turning red by trying so hard and the disappointed look on her face when only the toy bag fell out. Your final attempt of using the soap and water was also explained well as well. What a nice ending of Santa filling your stocking and having some delicious cookies. Explaining your ideas makes your story more interesting, so it is wonderful that you are doing this. Great use of descriptive words such as: fluffy, chilly, and sobbed and onomatopoeia words such as: thump. Your font colour was easy to read and your pictures related well to your story like the soap and water. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Keep up the terrific work! 🙂
