It is a wonderful story and an opportunity to train the Present Simple and the Past simple Tenses.

A young reindeer / lives at the North Pole. // His name is Rudolph. //He is a lovely, happy reindeer . // He loves playing in the snow. // But the other reindeer don’t play with him.// They laugh at him / because of Rudolph’s big, / bright red nose. // They tease him. // Rudolph is sad. // He has a dream – to pull Santa’s sleigh / like other reindeer. // He is afraid that, / because of his shiny nose, / Santa will not agree.//
On Christmas Eve / Rudolph goes to visit Santa and Elf. // They never tease him / because of his nose. // All their presents are ready. // Rudolph helps them to work. // Day turns to night. //
Santa and Elf pack up the sleigh, / while Rudolph helps them. // Now everything is ready. // Santa asks, / “Where are my eight reindeer? // It’s time to pull my sleigh.” //
The reindeer prance and proudly take their places / in front of the sleigh. // Santa looks around him. // He sees / the night is foggy. // He worries / that the reindeer cannot see the way. // Suddenly Rudolph with his bright red nose / comes up, / and Santa has a very bright idea! //
“Rudolph,” / Santa cries, / “I want YOU- / with your shiny nose- / to light the way for my sleigh tonight!” // Santa points to Rudolph, / and the reindeer cheer him.
Now everybody loves him / and says / that he is a very special reindeer. // From then on, Rudolph is Santa’s first choice every Christmas Eve.
