A Christmas Rescue for the Kitten

They flew over rooftops wrapped in soft winter silence. Milo read house numbers from Santa's

folded map. Santa guided the sleigh with steady, careful hands. The first chimney

received a sack of bright toys. Warm light flickered below as the bells chimed softly.

They landed near a small lane of sleeping houses. Santa carried gifts while Milo held

the wishlist. They filled stockings with books, puzzles, and tiny trains.

Snow fell lightly, hiding their tracks behind them. They moved on before the night grew too

late. Near a quiet porch, a kitten cried in the snow. Her fur was gray

and her paws looked cold. Milo froze and listened to the thin, worried mews.
