“Once upon a time, the Reindeer took a running leap and jumped over the Northern Lights.
But he jumped too low, and the long fur of his beautiful flowing tail got singed by the rainbow fires of the aurora.
To
this day the reindeer has no tail to speak of. But he is too busy
pulling the Important Sleigh to notice what is lost. And he certainly
doesn’t complain."
