Epilogue
PROLOGUE
Before the coming of Christmas, mankind had no particular reason to exchange gifts in late December. Oh, excuses enough were found to celebrate the coming of Spring or the gathering in of the harvest and such as that, but these were happy times anyway and would be heartily enjoyed even if men chose not to adorn them. Winter, however, offered no such distractions and remained for one and all a time of unrelieved cold and prolonged darkness. Still, there were rumors even then that an event of such unparalleled joy would occur during this season that gloom would be cast off forever and even the stingiest of men would throw open his purse in an effort to promote good fellowship.
It was further rumored that somewhere (some insisted in the Tropic climes while others favored one of the Polar Regions) there existed a man who in expectation of the blessed event distributed gifts to all the children in his neighborhood. Indeed, there was a Mr. Claus, a long time resident of the North Pole, who of a winter’s evening would hitch up a team of reindeer, load his sleigh with toys and deliver them to the children.
Children naturally tend to dream dreams which mock reality, and as the legend of Mr. Claus grew, many youngsters came to believe that this fabled Mr. Claus was actually a messenger especially chosen to announce the season’s spirit and would, at the proper time, extend his travels to the whole world and his gift—giving to the whole world’s children.
Adults, of course, pooh-poohed
such nonsense. They were quick to point out that this Mr. Claus could not have too many neighbors in such harsh surroundings and that his travels would be limited to the distance that a team of reindeer could drag him over icy terrain. The area, they reasoned, would not be extensive.
So, as has happened so often in the course of history, adults snickered while children dreamed on.
And yet, there was truth to these opinions, and the problems also troubled Mr. Claus. You see, he also believed that his destiny was to present gifts to all the world’s children as the messenger for some special celebration. He didn’t know what that occasion might be exactly, but believe he did, and he had believed for as long as he could remember. Mr. Claus had prepared and practiced for many years now, and, if the truth were told, was getting discouraged. His adult neighbors made fun of him, and he was embarrassed not to be able to answer even their simplest questions. He could always say that the longed—for event would occur in its own good time - that was the easy part - but how he was going to carry so many gifts to so many children in so short a time? Well, to that, Mr. Claus had no ready reply.
Thanks to our historical knowledge, we know how this deed was performed; Santa’s reindeer flew him where he had to go. Our story is about how they learned to fly and the individual responsible for teaching them this remarkable feat. He’s a peculiar hero to be sure, but the time has come for his story to be told. And so, we present for your consideration the unlikely travels and remarkable adventures of Bartholomew Bee — he who taught Santa’s reindeer how to fly.
CHAPTER 1
We are told that the heavens themselves announce the coming of outstanding souls. So it was with Bartholomew. On the night of his birth, a wondrously bright star lit up the Northern sky. So brilliant was its light that some have since suggested that its energy was responsible for that unusual feature of Bartholomew’s body which caused him so much initial suffering and later proved to be the reason for his eternal fame.
Bartholomew was born with an indelible
