The little boy whose story is told here lived in the beautiful country / of "Once upon a Time. " His name, as I heard it, was Tommy Trot; but I / think that, maybe, this was only a nick-name. When he was about your / age, he had, on Christmas Eve, the wonderful adventure of seeing Santa / Claus in his own country, where he lives and makes all the beautiful / things that boys and girls get at Christmas. In fact, he not only went / to see him in his own wonderful city away up toward the North Pole, / where the snow never melts and the Aurora lightens up the sky; but he / and his friend, Johnny Stout, went with dogs and guns to hunt the / great polar bear whose skin afterwards always lay in front of the big / library fireplace in Tommy's home.
This is the way it all happened.
