Young Billy stared into the snow and 

wondered why he did it. Why did he run away 

from his family. Just for one Christmas toy? 

Billy also pondered for where he was, in this 

deserted snowy plane. As he trudged in his 

snow gear on christmas eve, he recalled the 

events that lead him to here.

Twas the day before Christmas eve, Billy woke 

up cheerfully. He had been waiting to see if his 

parents had gotten him the fly-plane 100. Billy 

asked his parents, "I am so HAPPY that you 

got me the fly-plane 100!". He saw the 

disappointed look on his dad's face and asked 

what's wrong? His father answered, "Work has 

been really tough this year, and your mother 

and I cannot afford your gift this Christmas. 

I'm sorry, son."

Billy didn't answer. He 

ran to his room filled 

with anger and got his 

gloves, snowpants, 

jacket, and hat with his 

lucky charm, his 

necklace. He headed 

out the front door 

screaming, "I HATE 

YOU MOM AND DAD! 

I'm leaving!

Billy ran and didn't look back when his parents 

called him back. Tears welled up his eyes but 

he kept on running. Finally, after 10 minutes, 

Billy tripped and fell into the snow. He then 

bawled his eyes out.

Billy vowed to keep on moving.

He hopped on the bus and

fell asleep.

When Billy woke up, he found himself still on 

the bus in an unknown city. He hopped off the 

bus and asked a stranger where he was. The 

stranger said, "Little guy, you're in Waterburg, 

Michigan. It was Christmas Eve, and he was in 

Waterburg! Billy regretted leaving. He wanted 

to be with his family. He found a map and 

located where his family was. He looked to get 

on the bus, but it was gone for Christmas. 

"Calm down, Billy" he told himself. "You're 

getting back home".

When Billy was thinking, he 

saw a dog with no collar. It 

started to walk towards Billy. 

It was the cutest dog in the 

world! Billy petted its matted 

skin and said, "I'm sorry, but 

I have to get home". Billy 

started to walk away, but 

the dog followed him. "Fine, 

you're going to come with 

me." The dog barked in 

excitement. And then, they 

started home.
