"Plea to Santa"

A Christmas Story - Stage 1

by Wild Bill Blackerby

 

Scenario
All Sheriff Ralphie wanted for Christmas was an official Red Ryder, Carbine Action, 20 Shot, Range Model Rifle. He'd begged his mother and teacher to make his case to no avail. Finally he was going to the big man himself, the head honcho - Santa Claus.

Arriving in town, he finds a long line and waits, preparing his plea once in the presence of the big man. Finally up on the platform on the second floor he stammers until blurting out his wish… and he is denied!

With a "Ho-ho-ho" Santa sends Ralphie down the chute to the back alley. He finds Black Bart waiting there and with a grin pulls his pistol to take out his hurt on the outlaw.
