Santa Claus, annoyed that his football game has been recorded over, opens a large pop-up book to read a story. Buddy is the happiest and tallest elf by far ("Christmastown"). It turns out that Buddy is human. Santa explains that Buddy's mother had died, and, as an orphan, he had crawled into Santa's toy sack; arriving at the North Pole, he was raised as an elf.
