All friends came to the spatial portal. It was electric blue-violet. They were scared, but followed the snowman Bubba. In one second they couldn't control themselves or moved their bodies and in a moment they flew to the centre of the portal. It was dark inside, so they didn't see anything. The splash of the bright light appeared before them and all friends started to fall down.
- Oh my God! - shouted Bubba! - I see the ground! We did it! We are in Lapland! We will meet Santa. And I will find my family soon!
- My dearest Bubba, - said snowflakes - it's not Lapland! It's too hot for Lapland here.
- We are afraid that snowflakes are right. - said icicles. There is no snow here, but there are lots of sand all around.
- Look, there is a boy not far from here! - said snowflakes.
- Oh, Let's go to him and ask where we are. - said icicles.
- Ok! It's a great idea! - said Bubba and ran to the boy first.
- Hi, pal! What's your name? - said Bubba.
- Hello guys! I'm Mustafa.
- Nice to meet you Mustafa.
- Who are you? Where are you from?
- I'm Bubba, the snowman. These are my friends: snowflakes and icicles. We came from Ukraine. We are looking for Santa Claus. Is it Lapland?
- Oh, no! - laughed a cute girl with large dark eyes. - It's Tunisia. And I'm Leila. Mustafa is my little brother. He ran far from home. So, I'm looking for him here. Here you are, my sweetheart. I was so scared when you had disappeared.
- How can it be possible? We used spatial portal to get to Lapland. - said the snowman.
Maybe something went wrong. And that is why we are here. Dear snowflakes and icicles, I'm so sorry. I didn't listen to you. You were right. We shouldn't use that spatial portal.
- Bubba, what are you going to do now? - asked snowflakes.
- It's better to learn more about Tunisia. - suggested icicles. And then we will decide what to do further.
- Mustafa, Leila, please, tell us about your country. - asked Bubba.
And children told about their Motherland.
- You live in a great country! - said the snowman.
- We are glad that you liked Tunisia. - said Mustafa.
- But how can you get to Santa Claus? - asked Leila.
- Really, here is too hot for snowy blizzard! - said snowflakes.
- It' impossible to restart it here. - confirmed icicles.
- Let's ask Mr Gnome! - proposed Bubba the snowman. - He knows everything.
