Rude is Bad

It was chilly. It was below freezing and everyone in the family even the dog was biting. The temperature came down to zero degrees. The garden was all covered with snow. The children were warming their hands and sat close to the campfire. The trees were covered with snow. Snowfall was slipping from the roof. It was bone-chilling and harsh. It was brisk. Whoooo the wind was blowing coldly. All the windows were frosty. It was icy cold today. The roadway was freezing. The drivers were not able to drive on the ice. Even, the tyre was jammed because of the ice. It was very harsh that evening.

One day in the winter. There was a bell. Her name was Nyla. She had a big green bow attached to it. She was wearing a hooded jacket and an earmuff. The snow was on her jacket. She was as cold as the artic.  On Christmas Eve, her owner took her to her chilly house. The owner hanged her on the Christmas tree. The owner’s teeth were chattering and the body was trembling. The Christmas tree was also covered with paper.

The air was frigid and spectators shivered against the cold. When she looked to the left, she saw a Santa toy. He was wearing a red jacket, a red hat, and some green socks.  He asked, “what is your name”. She said that “my name is Noma, what is your name?” she said “Nyla”. That icy night they talked and talked and became best friends. Nyla was a mean person but Noma was nice.

On Christmas, when Santa was coming. Noma was so excited to see Santa Claus. It was her dream.  But Nyla was a fake friend. She didn’t want that Noma would see him. She planned something. When Santa Claus came, she noticed that Santa Claus would never wear clothes like that. He was wearing a pink coat and blue mufflers and his beard was as blue as the sky. she quickly moved and make some noise. Santa got scared that someone would come and see him so he got vanished. Noma found out that Nyla did it to her.

She got so angry that she grew bigger and bigger. Nyla got so scared and confused that how she grew so tall. She closed her eyes and opened them and nothing was there. Noma was talking to other jingle bells. Then she learned that we should never be rude to each other.
