Once upon a time at the North Pole, there lived an elf named Beaker Sparkly-toes. Beaker had a very important job in Santa's magical workshop, he was in charge of fixing all of the machines the elves used to make the toys. He was proud of his job and he worked very hard. Whenever a machine would break down Beaker would work as fast as he could to get it up and running again so that there would always be plenty of toys for the good girls and boys on Christmas morning.
.
One day there was a problem with the conveyor belts on the Tickle Me Elmo production line and Beaker was called to fix them. This was a really big deal because almost all of the children wanted Tickle Me Elmos that year and the elves needed to work day and night if they were ever going to be able to make enough. It was up to Beaker to save Christmas.
.
He worked harder and faster than he ever had before. "Go Beaker, go!" shouted the elves, "You can do it!" And then they all began to sing! Tools and spare parts were flying everywhere, Beaker was determined not to let Santa and the little children of the world down.
.
But Beaker was working so fast and hard, that he became a little bit careless. He accidentally crossed some wires, which caused the machine to start up while he was still inside the conveyor belts. By the time the other elves were able to hear his pitiful screams for help over the sound of their merry singing, and somebody found and pressed the emergency cutoff switch, Beaker had lost both of his arms and one of his eyes. He would have surely died if not for Santa's magic healing powers.
.
That year there was a terrible shortage of Tickle Me Elmos, and a lot of kids had to settle for Grover or Bert and Ernie, and they cried themselves to sleep on Christmas night because they thought they had been naughty and that Santa Claus didn't love them anymore.
.
When Beaker awoke from his coma, he felt horrible. Not because he no longer had any arms and was horribly disfigured, but because he had ruined Christmas. But then Santa paid him a visit. He told Beaker that it was not his fault, it was just an accident, and that he still loved him. Beaker thought there was a funny look on his face when he said it, but he told himself it was just because he wasn't used to only seeing out of one eye. Then Santa told Beaker that since he could no longer fix the machines, and everyone knows that all good elves must work, he had a very special job just for him.
.
He brought Beaker to the reindeer barn and told him that it was his job to keep an eye out for the Abominable Snowman. If he came near the barn to try and eat the reindeer, he was to use his feet to call Elf security on his walkie-talkie immediately. All he had to do was keep watch and not fall asleep. "You can do it Beaker, I know you can!" said Santa.
.
So Beaker was left all alone in the barn with the reindeer. It was chilly in there and smelled like reindeer poop, but Beaker was glad to be able to do his part. He tried making conversation with the reindeer, but they weren't as forgiving as Santa Claus, not even Rudolph, who should have remembered what it was like to be an outcast.
.
There was nothing for Beaker to do but think, the Abominable Snowman hadn't been seen in decades. The more he thought, the worse he felt. He had ruined Christmas, lost both of his arms and one of his eyes, and everyone hated him. Soon he was sobbing uncontrollably. He cried and cried for hours, and the tears coming from his missing eye's socket were pus yellow and runny. He cried so much for so long that he became exhausted, and against his will he did the one thing he was not supposed to do, he fell fast asleep.
.
When Beaker woke up, Santa Claus was standing over him, and he didn't look happy. "Oh Beaker," said Santa, "I told you not to fall asleep. While you were napping the Abominable Snowman came into the barn and he took Blitzen away." He shook his head sadly, sighing, "My poor Blitzen..." Beaker looked over to Blitzen's stall and saw that it was true. A trail of blood led from the empty stall to the open barn door. Beaker began to cry again.
.
"Now, now, Beaker, don't cry. Santa still loves you." said Santa, and this time Beaker was sure he had a funny look on his face when he said it. "But I'm very disappointed in you Beaker. Since you can't do this very special job like I asked you to, I'm going to have to give you a different job, because everyone knows that all good elves must work. Come with me now Beaker." Santa led Beaker out of the barn and into the woods. Beaker didn't know what kind of job he was going to get now, but he swore that he would work hard and never let Santa down again. I'll make him proud of me, he promised himself as he followed Santa deeper into the woods.
.
In the Great Hall, all of the other elves were enjoying a rare break from making toys. They were drinking spiced cider and singing merry songs. From somewhere nearby in the woods outside the Great Hall, they all clearly heard the sound of the gunshot.
