While touring with a children's theater company I was in a play which involved a character called the Ice Woman, who wanted winter to last all year round. Throughout the play we required the help of the children in defeating the Ice Woman. Finally she is banished and the old man of the village calls out as she makes her exit, "Go to the North Pole, Ice Woman!" "While most of the audience of kindergarten youngsters cheered, one little boy burst into tears and could not be comforted. Thinking he was frightened by the Ice woman's costume, the old man said, "It's all right, she's gone to the North Pole." With an anxious expression, the boy just barely managed to sob, "But that's where Santa Clause lives!"
