**I am eight years old
**Some of my little friends say their is no (Santa Claus/Krusty the Clown)

**Yes Virginia there is a (Santa Claus/Krusty the Clown). He exists as certainly as (Love, generosity and devotion/various Krusty brand items)
**Alas! How dreary would be the world if there was no (Santa Claus/Krusty the Clown)! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias
**Not believe in (Santa Claus/Krusty the Clown)! You might as well not believe in fairies
