Merry Christmas, Ollie! (2 page)

They hang their striped
stockings in the barn.

Ollie stomps through the snow.

"I want Christmas!" he shouts.

Ollie stomps to Gossie and Gertie.

"Is Christmas here yet?" he asks.

"Christmas is coming,"
Gossie whispers.
"Father Christmas Goose is
coming," Gertie whispers.

Ollie stomps to BooBoo and Peedie.

"Is Christmas here yet?" he asks.

"Christmas is almost here,"
Peedie whispers.
"Father Christmas Goose
will bring lots of food,"
BooBoo whispers.

"I want Christmas NOW!"
shouts Ollie.

"Listen!" shout Gossie
and Gertie.

"He's coming!" shout BooBoo
and Peedie.

Four small goslings scurry
to their nests.
