Tina does not like to do her jobs. It makes her mum mad.
Tina sings a tune as she works. It makes the work more fun.
She hears a new song. She finds an elf in the corn! The elf likes her tune.
The elf can go jobs in a flash! Then there is a lot of time for fun!
But that night, the elf left her house. Tina had to find the elf so that she could do her jobs.
Tina went through the corn field the next day, but the elf was not there. She wept.
She made a wish to find the elf, but it did not come true. She went home in the dark.
One day, the corn jumped off their stalks and into her basket. Tina felt a rush.
The elf was back! Tina was so glad that she had come to help her work.
Tina gave the elf a hug and told her of her plans for their day. The elf did not want to do jobs.
Tina got it. She could do them herself. She and the elf could just hang out and sing.
