《Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer》

Given X'mas' coming,I'd like to introduce one of my favorite chistmas songs.

-------Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer------


There's an old but interesting story about this song's provenance:
Every Christmas night,Santa Clause rides the sleight guided by reindeers and sends out gifts to good children door by door.And the reindeers' names are : Dasher、Dancer、Prancer、Vixen、Comet、Cupid、Donder、Blitzen......and so forth. In the foggy christmas night,before the eight reindeers guides a red nose reindeer------Rudolph.

Rudolph was always pushed out from a group and mocked at by other reindeers because of its big and red nose. Nonetheless,on one christmas night, the sky was covered by heavy fog and was awfully pitch-black.

The entire herd of reindeers couldn't tell the rightdirection and couldn't make any effort to start off giving gifts out. At this moment,Santa found that the light brought from Rudolph's red nose was actually able to lighten the roads in the thick fog. Accordingly,Santa let Rudolph as the bewether in front of the herd to take charge of guiding the way and hence rounded off the job.

Afterwards,the other reindeers didn't look down upon Rudolph anymore and all of them came to make friends with Rudolph and admired his big and red nose.




《Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer》

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

Had a very shiny nose

And if you ever saw it

You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer

Used to laugh and call him names

They never let poor Rudolph

Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve

Santa came to say

"Rudolph with your nose so bright

Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then how the reindeer loved him

And they shouted out with glee

"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

You'll go down in history!"
