„Do you know Gniadolf? Of course everyone knows Rudolf: Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer. But Gniadolf? If you don’t know him, I’ll tell you about him right away... Gniadolf was Rudolf’s younger brother. But they weren’t too similar, quite the opposite: Rudolf was the first of the reindeer, and Gniadolf was the last. Rudolf was the most famous of the reindeer, and no one had heard of Gniadolf. Rudolf had a beautiful, glowing nose, and Gniadolf... Well, Gniadolf had, how should I put it... a beautiful, glowing bottom. And because of that, the other reindeer smiled at the sight of him: because how can you not smile when someone’s bottom glows?”
