Deep in the snow-covered forest lay a little village of gnomes. Nestled amongst the old trees stood two cosy houses, decorated with lights and fir branches. In the centre of the village stood a small Christmas tree.
But one evening, the gnomes suddenly heard strange noises. First, a branch snapped; then there was a rustling behind the houses. Large footprints could be seen in the snow, which nobody recognised.
The elves grew curious and followed the tracks through the village. They led straight behind one of the houses. At first, there was nothing to be seen there. Just a few twigs moving in the wind.
As the elves walked on, they suddenly spotted two large horns peeking out from behind the house. Slowly, the Krampus emerged. However, he hadn’t come to frighten the elves. He was carrying a large sack full of nuts, apples and sweets.
Ever since that evening, the Krampus has secretly appeared in the elves’ village every year. And even today, the elves wonder whether he might be waiting behind one of the houses.

What do you think the Krampus looks like?
