Christmas Story Reading Comprehension

📖 Read the Story Extract

From "A Christmas Adventure"

Tommy gazed out of his bedroom window at the thick blanket of snow covering the village. The twinkling Christmas lights from neighbouring houses cast a magical glow across the white landscape. Suddenly, he spotted something peculiar in his garden - a small, shimmering figure struggling through the deep snow.

"Oh my!" gasped Tommy as he realised it was one of Santa's elves, looking rather flustered and carrying a torn sack. The elf's pointed hat was askew, and his usually cheerful face showed signs of worry. Tommy knew immediately that something was terribly wrong, and Christmas might be in danger.
