Catching Santa
On Christmas Eve, the Hoppers hung their stockings by the fire.They planned to stay awake until Santa Claus came.
“What can we do to pass the time?” asked Fluffy Tail.
“One of us could tell a fairy tale,” said Floppy Ears.
“Why don't we make some popcorn?” said Speedy Legs.
The Hoppers munched popcorn and waited for Santa Claus.
Ten o'clock came, then eleven o'clock.The Hoppers were wide awake except for Mother Hopper, who fell asleep in her chair.
Then Speedy Legs said, “I hear something.”
“It sounds like sleigh bells,” said Floppy Ears.
“Is it Santa?” cried Fluffy Tail.
The sleigh bells came closer and closer.Soon they heard footsteps coming toward the door.Snubby Nose ran to the door and opened it.
“It is Papa!” cried Snubby Nose.
Sure enough, Papa Hopper was home late from getting the Hoppers their presents.He had sleigh bells on his hat and boots.
“Merry Christmas, Hoppers,” said Papa Hopper.He hugged all the Hoppers and sat in a chair next to Mother Hopper.
Snubby Nose hopped in his lap.
“Did you see Santa Claus?” he asked.
“Santa Claus!” said Papa Hopper, sitting up.“You Hoppers know that Santa won't come unless you're asleep.”
“That's right,” said Mother Hopper. “Off to bed, all of you.”
The Hoppers groaned, but they went to bed.Mother and Papa Hopper tucked them in and turned off the lights.It was very late, and soon all the Hoppers fell asleep—all except Snubby Nose.
“I want to see Santa Claus,” thought Snubby Nose.“I will creep downstairs with my flashlight.”
