Now everyone knows that elves make toys for Santa to deliver at the North Pole but few know about the gnomes who look after the stores, employed because this role requires a taller kind of magical folk. The gnome who runs the store is a particularly tall and well organised Storeman called Norman and this is the story of how he saved this year’s Christmas.
It all happened because of Global Warming (or Climate Change I think the fashionable phrase is nowadays). The North Pole snows were melting and the resulting ice cold water started to enter the Great Store of Presents (neatly ordered by Norman into the order of delivery from New Zealand to Alaska) at an alarming rate.
Nothing was stacked on the floor, of course, due to this possibility and because of the wetness spread by various folk coming into the store from outside, however the water was rising darned fast and was soon approaching the bottom shelf!
Quick as a flash, Norman grabbed a pickaxe and began to hammer at the floor through the rising water and was soon encouraging (well, ordering) his workers to join him. Onward he led them and together the store gnomes dug a trench all the way to the sea, down which drained the floodwaters. After this they then helped out all of the North Pole folk by linking other flooded buildings to their drainage trench.
And thus Christmas was saved from “Climate Change” by a clever Storeman Gnome called Norman.
