Look at the image above. Do you know which one is Rudolph? Yes. The one with the SHINY RED NOSE.
Does anybody know the exact number of reindeer Santa Claus used to pulled his sleigh on Christmas Eve? Yes. At first, there were only EIGHT. And when Rudolph was added to the team it became NINE. Until now, it is NINE REINDEER. Great!
Now, try this. Name all the other reindeer excluding Rudolph. Okay. First, DASHER. Second, DANCER. Third, PRANCER. Fourth, VIXEN. Fifth, COMET. Sixth, CUPID. Seventh, DONNER. Eighth, BLITZEN. Ninth, guess who? Nine? Yes. It's nine, remember? It's RUDOLPH.
Now, say their names quickly.
DASHER-DANCER-PRANCER-VIXEN-COMET-CUPID-DONNER-BLITZEN-RUDOLPH.
It's good, huh?
And story time...
The Story of Rudolph
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
"He's the most famous reindeer of all time. But things weren't always so rosy for young Rudolph..."
Once upon a time there lived at the North Pole a young reindeer named Rudolph. He was a lively, happy reindeer and loved playing in the snow.
One day, the other reindeer noticed that he had a very large, bright red nose, and they teased him about without mercy.
Rudolph was sad because it was Christmas Eve and he was afraid that, because of shiny nose, he would never be chosen to pull Santa's sleigh. He went to visit Santa and Elf, who were getting all their presents ready. They were always kind to Rudolph and never mentioned his funny nose.
At last, Santa boomed, 'Elf, I must go now. Let's load up the presents. When all was ready, Santa asked. 'Where are my eight reindeer? I need their strength to pull my sleigh.'
Then Santa looked around him and noticed how foggy the night had become. He was worried that he would not be able to see his way. Suddenly he spied Rudolph with his bright red nose, and he had a very bright idea!
'Rudolph,' he cried, 'I want you - with your shiny nose - to light the way for my sleigh tonight!'
Santa's eight reindeer - Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen - made way for Rudolph with his shiny red nose. Now everybody loved him and said what a very special reindeer he was. From then on, Rudolph was Santa's first choice every Christmas Eve.
Tadaaaaa...
MERRY CHRISTMAS. May the spirit of Christmas brings joy and peace to all mankind.
