Last December there was a 5-year-old boy who REALLY wanted an "Elf on the shelf."
When it appeared that NO ELF would be joining the family, he made a trap to try to catch one.
He didn't let me take a picture of the inner-working of the trap... In fact, he slammed it shut when I asked him if I could take a picture.
But I heard that there were more boxes inside the big box and a few round things that resembled empty toilet paper rolls.
He took his trap to school on the bus, telling the bus driver that he had built a trap - just as he later told his teacher and classmates.
The trap remained in the classroom all day, until he took it home on the bus again.
When he got home, the most amazing thing happened. He found an elf inside his trap - not exactly like the one above. A little chubbier. Fun to play with... He had so much fun with this elf.
But then, on Christmas Day, (according to the story) it was supposed to disappear ... It was supposed to return to the North Pole.
(But it didn't!)
(To be continued...)
