Chapter 3: Sombertown:

Jolnir's POV:

Topper and I were traveling through Sombertown. Everything was gray. And no one seemed to be having fun.

"What are you kids doing," I asked.

"We're cleaning our stockings," says a kid, "then we're going to hang them over the fireplace to dry them."

"You seem sad," I said, "and I don't like sad faces. I have something for you." I then showed them some toys.

"But what about the Burgermeister," asks a kid.

"I have a yo-yo for him," I said.

Jolnir: Oh, what a good girl
Oh, what a good boy
Oh, what a big smile
All because of a toy

If you sit on my lap today
A kiss, a toy is the price you'll pay
When you tell what you wish for
In a whisper
Be prepared to pay

If you sit on my lap today
A kiss, a toy is the price you'll pay
When you sit on my left knee
Don't be stingy
Be prepared to pay

If whenever you take (Chorus: if whenever you take)
You give a little back (Chorus: you give a little back)
Then whoever you love (Chorus: then whoever you love)
Will give a little love back (Chorus: a little love back)
So, give a little love (Chorus: so, give a little love)
Get a little love back (Chorus: get a little love back)
Don't you have a little love (Chorus: a little love)
That you want to get back (Chorus: that you want to get back)

If you sit on his lap today
A kiss, a toy is the price you'll pay
When you sit on his left knee
Don't be stingy
Be prepared to pay

Now if you sit on my lap today (Chorus: today)
A kiss, a toy is the price you'll pay!

"What is going on," asks this woman.

"It's our teacher, Miss Carol!"

"What do you think you're doing," asks Miss Carol.

"Sorry," I said, "I don't know the Midgard customs."

"Are you a mad man," asks Miss Carol, "and why are you giving these children toys? Don't you know it's against the law?"

"No, but that would explain all the no toys allowed posters," I said, "weird that I didn't question them."

"Do you realize how much trouble you could get these children in," asks Miss Carol.

"Don't you think it's a silly law," I said, "maybe this will help." I then hand her a doll.

"It's-oh, I had one when I was a little girl," says Miss Carol.

"Careful," I said, "she's a dangerous criminal."

"Oh, you're right," says Miss Carol, "it is a silly law."

Then the Burgermeister came and saw the kids with the toys. "Arrest them," says the Burgermeister.

"Hold it," I said, "I'm the one who gave them the toys!"

"You did this," asks the Burgermeister, "I'll see you in jail for this!"

"First, I have something for you." I then handed him a yo-yo.

"What... it's a yo-yo," says the Burgermeister, "I used to have one when I was a boy!" He then did some tricks.

Mogorb's POV:

What is that idiot doing? If he gives in to that stranger's toys, it could ruin Sombertown!

Jolnir's POV:

"Sir, you're breaking your own law."

"What," asks the Burgermeister, "arrest me!"

Burgermeister Meisterburger's POV:

Now I'm in jail. This should teach me... a... lesson... wait.

Jolnir's POV:

The Burgermeister then came back. "Arrest that man and his penguin accomplice!"

"Time to go," I said. We then ran.
