Plot
editAt Christmas Eve the hungry fox Mickel walks through the snowy forest looking for food. He encounters two mice, but his attempts to catch them fail. Later Mickel discovers a farm. Hungrily, he looks through the window into the living room where he sees all the Christmas candy, but isn't able to get into the room. Then he sees that the door of the chicken coop is open. Just when he wants to catch a chicken, he is dragged outside by the Nisse (Norwegian-Danish)/Tomte (Swedish), the elf of the farm. Outside, the Nisse tells him that he is taking care of the chickens and Mickel must not steal them, but the Nisse also notices how hungry Mickel is. Shortly afterwards, a girl puts a plate with Christmas porridge for the Nisse onto the doorstep. The Nisse offers to share the food with the fox and to do this every winter night. Mickel accepts and eats the porridge. On his way back to the forest Mickel passes the two mice again. The mice are scared, but Mickel gives them a pine cone that has rolled away and smiles at the mice. Then he continues his walk.
