Well, this is the best story yet telling how Rudolf got his red nose! Roaming around alone in the woods offers opportunities for imitation of a delicate nature. To impute neither the best nor the worst to creatures, ah... what a relief for the tormented soul! Tasting a few mushrooms for Christmas Eve, I'd really be curious to see what good that does in families. LOL
Would everyone be alone in their corner of the universe looking at grandma's china with renewed joy? Or would the son go outside naked and greet the frost as a friend? HaHa!

Thank you for this refreshing anecdote, I enjoyed it very much.
