Once upon a time there was a very unpopular reindeer.

The other reindeer made fun of him because he was born with a curious and strange red nose that could glow, and be seen from a distance.
其他的驯鹿取笑他，因为他生来就长着一个奇怪的红鼻子，会发光，从远处就能看见。
Sadly, the other reindeer would frequently tell him he looked like a clown, which made Rudolf become very isolated:

He no longer liked being with others, and he no longer tried to make friends.

He would spend his days cooped up in his house, crying.
他整天把自己闷在家里哭泣。
His family was very sad because of this, and wanted him to be happy just like the other reindeer.

And since they realized that wouldn't happen where they lived, they decided to help Rudolph abandon the town where he lived.
当他们意识到，生活在这里是不可能让孩子开心时，他们决定帮助鲁道夫离开这座小镇。
He walked for many days… even months.

Christmas was coming, and he was still walking aimlessly in the world, very sad for having to leave his home.

He was counting and lining up his eight reindeer, which had a lot of experience pulling the sleigh.

However, when they were ready to lift off, the sky was covered in fog.

And that's how they found that poor solitary reindeer Rudolph who, without realizing it, had given Santa the solution to his problem.
就这样，他们找到了那只可怜的孤独的驯鹿鲁道夫，他不知不觉地帮圣诞老人解决了找路的问题。
Santa asked Rudolph to please pull his sleigh with the other reindeer, so that children all over the world could get their gifts – his nose would act as a beacon.
