About this listen

In a quaint village, a hard-working farmer named Thomas becomes enraged when a crow named Cawley steals food from his storage on Christmas Eve. He captures and cages the crow, but his compassionate 13-year-old son, Sam, secretly sets her free. Thomas discovers this and, in a fit of anger, scolds Sam harshly. Heartbroken, Sam runs away, unaware of the severe winter storm approaching.

While wandering through the forest, Sam falls into an animal trap pit and injures himself. Meanwhile, Thomas regrets his outburst and frantically searches for his missing son as the storm intensifies. Hearing Sam's faint cries for help, Cawley flies to his aid. Recognizing the boy who freed her, she seeks help from nearby reindeer, Rudolph and Comet, who are also caught in the storm.

Cawley leads the reindeer to Sam, and together they rescue him from the pit. Santa Claus appears, heals Sam's injuries, and safely returns him home. Thomas, filled with relief and gratitude, embraces his son and apologizes for his harshness. Santa leaves a message of love and forgiveness, emphasizing the true spirit of Christmas.

The storm passes, and the village awakens to a peaceful, snowy Christmas morning. Sam and Thomas, their bond strengthened by the ordeal, join the village in celebration. Cawley, witnessing the reunion, feels fulfilled and returns to her family. Sam and Thomas enjoy a joyous Christmas, surrounded by presents and the warmth of their renewed love and understanding.
