SANTA and the PIGWIDGEN
Jimmy's White House
CHAPTER ONE
SANTA AND
THE PIGWIDGEN
MANY YEARS AGO there
lived a man who had an extraor-
dinary love for children.
He was always giving them little
gifts — especially at Christmas-
time He was so good and kind a
man he was made the patron saint of
children He is called Saint-
Nicholas or Santa Claus for short
and he is the spirit of all our Christ
mases.
No one knows how it came about
that today Santa Claus lives at the
North Pole and has flying reindeer
and is able to bring toys to children
all over the world No one knows
but many stones are told, and here
is one of the most interesting
Claus, as he was then called,
lived in a village on a mountainside
in a far-away land He and his wife
had no little ones of their own but
their house was always filled with
boys and girls
Claus liked it that way He told
stones He made up songs He kept
the cookie jar filled He carved tiny
wooden toys and gave them to the
children He scarcely had time to do
his real work which was to make
shelves and chairs and beds to sell
to the villagers
People could not understand how
Claus could spend so much time
playing with the children He never
seemed to worry about making a

Claus went to the attic and came
back with the black leather purse
The sides bulged and the contents
truly jingled like gold.
"If it’s not gold, what is it?"
asked an old man eagerly.
“I do not know,” said Claus.
"Many years ago a traveler stayed
the night in my father’s house He
left the purse and said he would
return for it some day. He made my
father promise never to open it. My
father kept his promise. When he
died he made me promise the same
thing and the purse has been forgot-
ten all these years.
“Open it!" cried the villagers.
"Surely such a promise was not
meant to stand forever!”
"For me it was,” said Claus
stubbornly.
The village elder spoke up slyly
and said, "But Claus, WE didn’t
make any such promise. Surely I
can open the purse just for one
peek."
"Yes, why not?" cried
everyone, moving closer. “Yes,
yes!" chorused the children. "Just
a peek!" And suddenly the elder
leaned over the purse and opened
the clasp.
There was a hiss and a screech.
The lamps sputtered A strange
warm breeze blew through the
house The villagers stumbled back
against the walls and Claus cried
out, “Mercy me! What have you
done?"
