Christmas gift



Чернышева Юлия Максимовна, 6 класс. Christmas gift. HIGH.

Before I took part in the Expedition through the Arctic, I had lived by a schedule. In the Arctic you lose sense of time. Having 24 hours of sunlight we could start our hiking at what we thought was 3 PM but it was actually 3 AM.
Our entire being was focused on one thing: survival.
That day or night (I can’t say for sure) I was on polar bear watch while the others were sleeping.
I didn’t have to fall asleep so I looked outside for some fresh air and came face to face with a ...

strange elderly man.
His face and white long beard seemed to be well-known.
The man looked at me seriously and asked «Have you already thought what you’d like to get as a present?»
«Me ? A present? » I was confused.
«Dear, son! » he continued.
«If you are so absent-minded you’ll miss the opportunity to get a proper Christmas present. »
I couldn’t believe that it was a real Santa!
«But it is only November! » It was my last argument.
The old man laughed and replied « I have never heard anything more absurd! Today is the twenty- third of December. »
I had supposed that we had lost sense of time, but we had lost the whole month!
I wanted to inform my friends but Santa stopped me.
He proposed to make them a happy surprise.
I agreed and we went to Santa’s sledge that was not so far from our camp.
I wasn’t afraid to leave my companions unsafe because Santa had made his magic spell to protect our tents.
I had never believed in Santa and magic before and I felt a bit guilty.
When we came Santa asked me to close my eyes and to wait for a minute. I did so and saw some beautiful unreal country. It was wonderful and impossible to describe!
But suddenly I heard something unpleasant and sharp.
I hardly could open my eyes and I was really surprised to see all my friends standing around me. They didn’t seem to be happy. They were anxious.
When I asked them about Santa, they toughed that I was delirious. They said that they had found me alone and half-frozen. They added that they had heard some wild growl and taken the rifles and some food.
They found me unconscious next to big polar bears’ footprints. It was incredible! But the most incredible thing happened next! When we came back to our camp we saw nothing. We realized that our tents had been set on a big block of ice which cracked and sailed into the ocean.
Our survival was a real miracle!
I don’t know if Santa exists or not but I always remember this Christmas gift!
