A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On
Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office a street urchin (顽童) was walking around a shining car.
"Is this your car, Paul?" he asked. Paul answered, "Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas." The boy
was surprised. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn"t cost you anything. Boy, I wish…" He
hesitated (犹豫).
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that.
But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
"I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that."Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then
he said again, "Would you like to take a ride in my car?"
"Oh, yes, I"d love that."
After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, "Paul, would you mind driving in front
of my house?"
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he
could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again, "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy
asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast.
He was carrying his little crippled (残疾) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
"There she is. Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn"t
cost him a cent. And some day I"m going to give you one just like it...then you can see for yourself all nice
things in the Christmas window that I"ve been trying to tell you about."
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in
beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

I came to the small town a week ago. I sold some clothes to a shop. Christmas was coming and I
hoped to buy some presents for my family and friends. So I tried to meet the manager and ask him to
pay for (付款) them. I was out of luck (运气不好). He went to London and I had to wait for him here.
There was no theatre here but a cinema. The films were all too old. I preferred staying in the small hotel
to sitting in the cold cinema (我宁愿待在小旅馆里, 也不愿坐在冰冷的电影院里).
Half an hour later, I felt hungry. I had to get up. It was white everywhere and some children were
skiing down the hill. On my way to the small restaurant,I saw a boy fall on to a rock (岩石). I ran to him
quickly and carried him to a hospital. Soon his parents came here. Now I knew the boy was just the
manager"s son. He thanked me very much and gave me the money after we had a dinner.
