Tuning Problems for Sleigh Bells Persist 1

updateElf Gloria could only shake her head when she heard the new bells. They looked perfect. But they sounded worse than before.

“Santa won’t approve this sleigh for flight like this and neither will I!” lectured Elf Gloria. She was speaking to the silversmith and to Elf Quinton, who were trying to pass Gloria’s latest inspection of Santa’s Sleigh. Elf Quinton has sent for Elf Francis Peabody, the organist for the Elf Choir. I’m not sure what Francis will do but I hope she can help.

We will keep you updated.
