    Smile Help with translating! Christmas story book for kids in Mexico!

    Can someone please translate this for me? It's around 40 sentences.. I volunteered to make a little picture book for Christmas for the kids down in a school in Mexico. But the problem is, I'm not even in Spanish! I'm just really good friends with the Spanish teacher.

    So if you could do this for me, you'd be helping out as well for some kids down in Mexico!

    Thank you!

    Once upon a time in a far away land, there once lived a Princess Isabel whose castle was very grand. In the midst of decorating her tree, she looked at her ornaments and realized there was only three. She quickly rushed into town on her horse about to cry. Then she came up with a plan that made her very sly.

    She rushed back to her castle in haste. Princess Isabel then let her garland out tallest window with grace. After, she sat with tea in her hand, waiting for her prince charming to gallop across the land. Just then in two villages over and at a castle in Everwood, a prince named Santa ran to his noble reindeer as fast as he could. He had sensed something wrong, so he jumped on his reindeer named Rudolph and galloped along.

    Where he was going, he didn't know. The hardest part was getting through the snow. Then he heard through his ears, a Chirstmas carol thats been sung through the years. Equipped with a sword and a shield, he was ready to battle the beast in the oncoming field. As he saw the beast he almost ran away. He finally realized this was the thing he had to slay before he could continue on his way.

    There before him stood a huge snowman and Santa realized he had to melt this thing as fast as he can. He rubbed together a twig and a stick, hoping the weather wouldn't suddenly play a trick. The snowman melted and soon became a lake. Santa then decided he wanted to skate.

    Prince Santa jumped on his reindeer once again. It was then when he wished he would't run into any bandit men. He thought again as he rushed through the bushes and trees. He wished once more he wouldn't run into theives.

    He arrived and saw Princess Isabel's castle. He then found out that getting up to her would be a hassle. Princess Isabel said all you have to do is use the garland as rope. Santa thought it would be easy, or so he would hope.

    Santa jumped off Rudolph and grabbed the garland tight. He was also happy that the lunch he had earlier was light. Reaching the top he listened to what Princess Isabel said. "Please, run to the store and get me my things, before the storm these clouds will bring!"

    Santa nodded and slid down from the top. He jumped once more on Rudolph, and he was off. Santa reached the store in record time. But he panicked, hoping he wouldn't forget about the ornaments on his mind.

    As he stepped into the supermarket and looked at the shelves, he saw little toys that looked like elves. He thought about them and soon became sad, for he missed them but remembered the task he had. Finding his way through the supermarket's rows, he quickly found himself between big and small bows. Getting out of that big mess, he moved on and found what he needed, oh yes!

    He returned to the castle to see Princess Isabel with a smile upon her face, and the Christmas tree decorated with lace. Princess Isabel then put the last ornaments on. The Christmas tree was finally done. They exchanged gifts at the end of the night, everything for Christmas was done and done right.

    Erase una vez en una tierra lejana, vivía allá una Princesa Isabel cuyo castillo era muy majestuoso. En la mitad de la decoración de su árbol, ella miró sus adornos y se dió cuenta que había solamente tres. Rápidamente corrió hacia el pueblo en su caballo y a punto de llorar. Luego ideó un plan que la hizo muy astuta.

    Ella corrió de regreso a su castillo con prisa. La Princesa Isabel entonces extendió su girnalda en la ventana más alta con gracia. Luego ella se sentó con una taza de té en su mano, esperando a que su príncipe azul galopara a través del campo. Exáctamente entonces en otras dos villas y en un castillo en Everwood, un príncipe llamado Santa corrió hacia su noble reno tan rápido como pudo. El había sentido algo malo, así que saltó sobre su reno llamando Rodolfo y galopó.
    A donde iba, no conocía. La parte más difícil fue pasar sobre la nieve. Entonces sus oídos oyeron un villancico de Navidad que ha sido cantado a través de los años. Equipado con una espada y un escudo, él estaba listo para combatir a la bestia en el siguiente campo. Tan pronto vio la bestia casi se regresa. Finalmente se dió cuenta que era la cosa que había que vencer antes de que pudiera continuar su camino.
    Allá frente a él estaba un enorme hombre de nieve y Santa se dió cuenta que debía derretir esa cosa tan rápido como pudiera. Frotó juntos una rama y un palo, esperando que el clima no le jugaría una mala pasada. El hombre de nieve se derritió y pronto se convirtió en un lago. Santa entonces decidió que quería esquiar.
    El príncipe Santa montó en su reno una vez más. Fue cuando deseó que no correría hacia los hombres bandidos. El pensó nuevamente a medida que corría a través de los arbustos y árboles. Deseó una vez más que no correría a los ladrones.
    Llegó y vió el castillo de la Princesa Isabel. Luego descubrió que levantarla sería un problema. La Princesa Isabel dijo que todo lo que tenía que hacer era usar la girnalda como cuerda. Santa pensó que sería fácil, o que esperaría.
    Santa se bajó de Rodolfo y agarró la girnalda fuertemente. El estaba también contento porque el almuerzo que había comido temprano había sido liviano. Llegando a la cima escuchó lo que la Princesa Isabel decía: "Por favor, corra al almacén y tráigame mis cosas, antes de que la tormenta de estas nubes las traigan"

    Santa se inclinó y se deslizó de la parte de arriba. Subió una vez más sobre Rodolfo y se fue. Santa llegó a la tienda en tiempo récord. Pero le dio pánico esperando que no olvidaría en su mente acerca de los adornos.
    Cuando llegó al supermercado y miró a las estanterías, vio juguetes pequeños que parecían como duendes. Pensó acerca de ellos y pronto se puso triste, porque los extraño pero recordó la tarea que tenía. Abriendose paso a través de las filas del supermercado, rápidamente se encontró a si mismo entre lazos grandes y pequeños. Saliendo de ese gran desorden, se movió y encontró lo que necesitaba, oh si! ,
    Regresó al castillo para ver a la Princesa Isabel con una gran sonrisa en su cara, y el árbol de Navidad decorado con un moño (lazo). Intercambiaron regalos al final de la noche, todo porque en la Navidad se hizo y se hizo bien.
