圣诞节的礼物(1)
2009年的平安夜,叮叮躲在被窝里期盼着圣诞老人的光临,同时又在思索一个问题:家里没有烟囱,圣诞老人怎么进来呢?但妈妈确信:一定会有SURPRISE!
圣诞节的早上叮叮醒来后失望地说:“NO PRESENT AT ALL!”妈妈看了看他的小床,礼物还挂着呢。后来叮叮终于找到了妈妈半夜里放在丝袜里(匆忙之中,连圣诞袜都没有准备)的喜羊羊手表和卡片,卡片上是圣诞老人给他的祝福,叮叮总算开心地戴上了手表。
又过了一天,叮叮戴着手表参加了幼儿园在剧场的圣诞演出,在后台有小朋友问他手表是在哪儿买的,叮叮自豪地回答:“是圣诞老人送的!”小朋友也想要一块,叮叮说明年让圣诞老人送来。
...... ......
2010年的圣诞节一早醒来(也不早了,快九点了),叮叮一点也没提礼物的事,前些天也从未提过,不象去年整天忙着用包装纸包礼物要送给大家,所以妈妈什么也没表示。不过到了九点,叮叮准备起床的时候突然问了一句:“妈妈,你给我买的圣诞礼物呢?”
妈妈一惊,回答:“礼物问圣诞老人去要。”
叮叮不买账:“去年的也是你买的,不是圣诞老人送的。”
妈妈只好在他的羽绒服里包了一本书,叮叮看到这本书的时候完全没有惊喜,因为这就是妈妈买的嘛。
为什么小东西不象去年那样相信圣诞老人呢,一方面是因为又大了一岁,耳朵里总会刮到些什么;另一方面,估计和他几个月前读过3L第四册的这样一篇课文有关,关键句就是: Of course, Sandy and Sue don't believe in Father Christmas any more.
Lesson 39 A merry Christmas and a happy New year!
In a few days' time it will be Christmas Day. Sandy and Sue are so excited that they can hardly wait. They broke up on December 17th and since then they've been helping mother. Yesterday they decorated the living-room. Last night they went to Regent Street with Gretel to see the decorations. Mrs Clark has already bought all her presents and sent all her cards.She has made a large pudding and ordered a turkey for Christmas Day.
Tonight Sandy and Sue are going to sing carols with their friends so that they may collect money for charity and Gretel is going to join them. On Christmas Day the family will exchange presents. Of course, Sandy and Sue don't believe in Father Christmas any more, but they still hang up stockings beside their beds so that their parents will fill them with presents! The days are dark and short, but everyone is cheerful. "Christmas is coming!" they say.
