Synopsis:
Olive is merrily preparing for Christmas when suddenly she realizes "Olive... the other Reindeer... I thought I was a dog. Hmmm, I must be a Reindeer!" So she quickly hops aboard the polar express and heads to the North Pole.
Every day, Olive took her daily dog walk, winter, spring, summer or fall.
Today was a winter's day. It was the holidays. There was music playing outdoors.
People were singing along,
"All of the other reindeer..."
Olive was too shy to sing.
"Hmm-hmm-hm-hm-hmmm-hmmm,"
she hummed.
Back at her dog house, Olive was wrapping presents and listening to the radio. She heard that same song again.
"All of the other reindeer..." went the song.
"Olive, the other reindeer..." Olive sang along.
"Olive...the reindeer," said Olive. "I thought I was a dog. Hmmm, I must be a Reindeer!"
It was that time of year when all the reindeer reported to the North Pole to help Santa Claus.
Olive put down her scissors carefully, and marched out the door.
She took one bus and then two buses.
She got there just in time.
Santa was checking his list for the second time. Elves were busy helping the reindeer and loading the sleigh with presents for all of the good girls and boys. Everyone was getting ready to go.
Olive took her place.
Santa noticed that there was a little dog in the line-up. Santa knew a lot about dogs, for instance, they can't fly. But as it was time to go, he decided to give Olive a chance.
Comet, the biggest reindeer, used a piece of extra ribbon to make sure Olive was tied in safe and tight.
Now they were ready to go.
Olive was surprised it was so easy to fly.
The other reindeer were very curious about the new helper. They looked at Olive so much - they weren't watching where they were going.
CRASH!
They flew smack into the top of a too tall tree!
"Oh, dear," said Santa.
"My sleigh is stuck in this tree. I'll have to cut it free."
Olive clung to the side of the tree. She tried to fly up to help Santa....but she could not.
She climbed slowly and started chewing. Chewing sticks was something Olive could do well.
"Thank you, Olive," said Santa Claus, as they got back on their way.
They had not traveled far when Olive's nose began to twitch. Olive smelled trouble. It was the smell of gumdrop candies as they fell from the sleigh.
DROP....DROP....DROP
Olive barked and Santa knew what to do.
He steered the reindeer down and around so that all the gumdrops fell,
PLOP....PLOP....PLOP
back into the toy sack.
"We were very lucky not to loose a single gumdrop," thought Olive. Then she heard a strange sound. It was the musical note,
EEEEEEEEE.
She spun around on her string to see the night sky filled with falling flutes.
Olive had to howl louder than the wind instruments.
This was not music to Santa's ears.
"First gumdrops and now flutes," thought Santa.
"That tree must have torn a hole in my sled."
"Prepare for an Emergency Landing," Santa instructed.
After eating lots of good food, it was time to open presents.
The reindeer got jump ropes and the elves got toy trains.
Santa reached into his toy sack. There was just one present left. It was for Olive. It was her very own set of reindeer antlers. They fit perfectly.
Then everyone went outside to play reindeer games.
