Just then the clock chimes, and a puppy in the place of the cuckoo jumps out, slides down a ramp, and licks one of the orphans. The first orphan wakes up to shout to the others, «#MerryChristmas, everybody!» They all jump out of bed and make their way to the hall, where they grab the toys from their stockings and get ready to play with them... #ColorClassic
