SNUFFULUMPS | Continued from page 3 I did, -however, notice that snuffulumps like to sleep at night, just when gnomes are deciding to get.up! That became my advantage. When he went to sleep,:I had already awakened, and was ready to escape. I jumped for the cork, but: couldn’t reach it..The snuffulump had ‘also taken ‘my back pack, so I had nothing to eat. My thought was that he wanted to starve me to death. But I suddenly saw something scurry across the cave floor. It was my two daughters! ‘Hurry!" I said to myself the glass bottle. They climbed cautiously over the snoring snuffulump. The chil- dren had almost made it to the bottle, when the snuf- fulump rose, wiped the sleep from his eyes, brushed the crusted crumbs from _his beard and grunted in satis- faction. When he noticed my children. he growled. Trembling, Uppla, ‘the elder of the two, slowly walked up to him and said, “Dear Snuffulump, I know you are mad at my sister and me for barging into your cave without knocking, but will you please let my Daddy go? He didn’t harm you. After all, it's Christmas Eve,.and_ all my Daddy wanted-to do was to get a. Christmas tree for our family as a gift for us. It seems he doesn’t have one yet. Don’t you feel ashamed spoiling our Christmas?" Now thé snuffulump was puzzled. He wondered if he had really done such a ter- rible thing. Then a warm glow overcame him, He felt soft-hearted and really. thought about what Uppla said. Maybe he did spoil thei Christmas. caren Now he was really ashamed. He silently walked over to the bottle and remov-* ed the cork. I was watching this from inside the bottle-and: réally, |- t couldn't believe ‘my ey did,- however, quickly jump out ‘when: th fulump a quick glance and quickly ran home. I wonder- ed if the Christmas spirit truly overcame his evil spirit. As we returned home I was surprised to see a freshly-cut pine on our door- step.I was quite bewildered! At that moment Jinee notic- ed a piece of paper on the tree. The note read: “A gift, for your family.” From Someone who cares. Then I knew that the old snuffulump. truly had the Christmas spirit deep in his heart. It.was indeed a very erry Christmas. Sleep my Child and take your rest While I rock you on my breast. Rest my Son, and quiet stay While Joseph sleeps upon the hay. .
