There was that guy called Leo, who worked at a Christmas factory. He, for his part, was very curious and didn’t respect the rules.

One day at work, he entered this room which had a sign saying, “ do not trespass”. As usual, he ignored it and made his way inside the door.

The inner part seemed like a normal factory storage, nevertheless something called Leo’s attention: there was an object glowing under a thick fabric which said “danger”. Taking more steps, the intrigued man found this little snow globe and grabbed it in a blink of an eye.

When he did it, an insect disturbed him, making him shake his hands. He closed his eyes and started to feel extremely cold. Quickly, Leo opened them back, and thought he was hallucinating. He was literally inside the globe and didn’t know what to do. The poor man was trapped into it!

After a long time trying to escape it, he felt hopeless, but started thinking about his attitudes, and realized his selfishness was what got him in this situation. Maybe he could respect others’ privacy and limit himself from being so curious.

Unexpectedly, the snow globe’s glass started to shake and create small cracks in its surface. Finally, it shattered, setting Leo free.

Maybe, after all, Santa wanted to teach the meddlesome man a lesson, who after that situation, started minding his own business.
