Scamper the reindeer was a curious little fellow who lived at the North Pole. He loved nothing more than to explore and discover new things, and he spent much of his time wandering around Santa’s workshop, poking his nose into every nook and cranny.
One of Scamper’s favorite things to do was to open the gifts that the elves were preparing for the children. He would carefully unwrap the packages and examine each item, often leaving them in disarray. This, of course, drove the elves crazy, as they would then have to repackage the gifts all over again.
One day, the elves had had enough of Scamper’s mischief. They decided to teach him a lesson, and they came up with a plan. They wrapped a jack-in-the-box in one of the gifts, and waited for Scamper to find it.
Sure enough, Scamper soon discovered the package, and he eagerly began to unwrap it. But when he opened the box, a loud pop startled him, and a clown’s head sprang out at him. Scamper was so frightened that he ran away from the workshop, his little hooves pounding on the snow.
The elves watched with satisfaction as Scamper disappeared from sight. They hoped that their trick had taught him a lesson, and that he would think twice before opening any more gifts.
For a while, Scamper stayed away from the workshop, but his curiosity eventually got the better of him. He returned, but this time he was more careful. He still explored and discovered new things, but he learned to manage his curiosity, and he no longer caused trouble for the elves.
Scamper remained a curious little reindeer, but he had learned his lesson, and he was content to let the elves do their work in peace.
