Fairy tales for young and old ~ English version

Christmas Father

Once upon a time, in a quaint village adorned with glistening snow, lived a little orphan named Raine. Her days were filled with longing, for she yearned for the love and warmth of a father. As Christmas approached, Raine's heart ached with the hope that her wish would be granted.

On a chilly Christmas Eve, Raine lay in her bed, unable to sleep. Moonlight filtered through her window, casting a soft glow in her room. Unable to resist the anticipation, she tiptoed to the Christmas tree, where she had placed her heartfelt wish the night before.

As Raine reached the tree, she noticed a figure in a red suit placing a beautifully wrapped present beneath its branches. It was Santa Claus himself, with his rosy cheeks and merry smile. Overwhelmed with excitement, Raine couldn't help but approach him.

"Santa," she whispered, her voice filled with hope, "I couldn't sleep, and I was wondering... did you bring me a dad?"

Santa's eyes softened as he looked down at Raine, her wide eyes filled with longing. He realized the depth of her yearning and the hardships she had endured. Overwhelmed with compassion, he made a decision that would change Raine's life forever.

"My dear Raine," Santa said, his voice gentle, "while I couldn't bring you a dad directly, I have something extraordinary in mind. Would you like to come with me to the North Pole? There, you will find a loving family who will welcome you with open arms."

Raine couldn't believe her ears. Her heart fluttered with joy and anticipation. She nodded eagerly, her eyes shimmering with gratitude. Santa took her hand, and together they boarded his magical sleigh, soaring through the starry night sky towards the enchanting North Pole.

As they arrived at the North Pole, Raine's eyes widened with wonder. Elves greeted her with warm smiles, and Mrs. Claus enveloped her in a loving embrace. Raine had found a new home, a place where love and magic coexisted.

In the North Pole, Raine flourished, surrounded by the care and warmth of her newfound family. Santa, with his kind heart, became the father Raine had always wished for. Every Christmas, they worked together, spreading joy and love to children around the world.

Raine's wish had been granted, and though it took a different form than she had imagined, she had found a family that cherished her. Her life was now filled with love, laughter, and the magic of Christmas.
