The Greedy Usul

by britishgurl96

(with help from tellybear15)

"And I want this Meerca Plushie, and OH! this Faerie Paint Brush," squealed Princess the Usul, "and this--"

"Princess! Don't get all the items in the catalog," said her friend Kari the Aisha, "Santa will think you are greedy!"

"What's greedy mean?" asked Princess.

"It's when you want EVERYTHING," explained Kari, "And Santa will give you nothing but hard, cold, coal!"

Princess didn't pay attention to Kari. Instead, she turned page after page in the catalog, writing practically every single rare item on her list. She was too busy looking for what she wanted. Meanwhile, Kari started giving this long lecture about being greedy.

"...And being greedy can ruin your whole life!" exaggerated Kari, unwrapping a candy cane. Princess yawned. She opened a "Usul Girl" catalog and began writing more rare items on her list.

"When we go see Santa, he will ask if you've been good," said Kari, "And if you show him that list, he won't bring you ANYTHING!". Princess again yawned and ignored Kari.

"Let me see your list!" said Kari, and she reached for Princess's list. It said:

What I want for Christmas
A Meerca Plushie
A Faerie Paint Brush
A striped Paint Brush
A Prom Queen Usuki
A Usuki Pool Set
A Fire Faerie
An Orange Negg
An Usul Rainbow Plushie
An Ice Mote
A Golden Nerkmid
3 Codestones
A New Vanity Desk
A Rainbow Fountain Pass
A Noil
A Warf
A Toffee Classic
An Everlasting Apple
A Rod of Nova Ice Dice
A Queen Faerie

Kari's list:

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas are:
Two Neggs
Usul Plushie
Nimmo Plushie
A Mermaid Usuki

Please try to bring these!

Kari

Kari groaned at Princess and muttered "Greedy!" as she walked out the door. Princess yawned again, and went on looking through the catalog, as if Kari wasn't there.

The next day, they went to see Santa, at the local mall. Princess was the first in line. As usual! Princess went in, and stuffed the long list in Santa's face.

Santa smiled and said, "Isn't that a bit long?" he said.

And Princess said, "NO!" And then Princess left with her list, and a tiny candy cane. The phony Santa muttered, "I hate this job, she's a very greedy Usul. So are all these pets."

Santa said, "Who's Next?" and Kari raised her hand, walked up the stairs, tripped and cut her paw. Santa politely gave her a band aid.

Kari took the band aid, put it on, sat down on Santa's lap and gave him her list. "Hmmmm....you don't want that many presents?" He said and laughed, as she jumped of his lap with a big candy cane!

"No FAIR!" squealed Princess, "You get a HUGE candy cane!"

"That's because you are greedy," said Kari, saying it as if she were better, "then you can have mine." She took Princess' candy cane, half eaten. And they walked home.

Christmas day came, at last. Kari got all her presents, and one Faerie Paint Brush. On the other hand, Princess only got HARD, COLD.... COAL!

And that's why you should NEVER be greedy!
