They got stuck on Santa's bag. When Santa was picking a special kid, he picks him. Santa gave him a bell from one of his reindeers. When he got it, he lost it. In the morning, he felt sad because he lost the bell. When he opened another present, it was another bell. He shook it, but his parents could not hear it. Only his sister could. His parents kept saying it was broken. By E.H.
