"Mommy! Daddy!"

She’d lost her mother and father and brothers and sisters.

The night wind shrieked. The snowflakes stung her eyes.

"Mommy! Daddy! Where are you?"

But no one could hear.

And now — danger! — wolves.

She could smell them. They were close. Maybe they got my family, she thought, and want me too.

So the little reindeer ran as fast as she could.

In the fierce storm she didn’t know where she was going. She just knew she had to get away.

The wolves chased her, but she soon left them far behind.

Even when she no longer picked up their scent, she ran and ran.

Finally she came to the North Pole.
