　　The present from Santa Claus

　　When I was a little boy, I also believed in Santa Claus. I can remember the year when I was four years old. My parents told me: “Philip, Santa Claus will give you some nice presents on Christmas Eve. If you are a really good boy, he’ll give you just what you want.” “Really?” I said. “Will he give me a toy train?” My parents promised me.

　　You know, it was a long time for me to wait for Christmas. But finally, Christmas Eve came. I hung a stocking at the foot of my bed, and I could hardly go to sleep.

　　The next morning, I woke up very early. I eagerly looked into my stocking, but found nothing. Disappointed, I went into the sitting room. I was thrilled to see a big box under the Christmas tree. I tore off the ribbon and paper, and found the toy train I wanted so much!

　　Several years later, I learned that Santa Claus was not real, but I wasn’t too disappointed. Because I also learned that it was actually my parents who gave me the toy train. Now, at Christmas time I always remember that Christmas when I was four. And I feel very happy, because I know that I’m a good boy and my parents love me very much.

　　从圣诞老人那儿得到的礼物

　　当我还是个小男孩的时候，我坚信有圣诞老人。记得4岁那年，爸爸妈妈对我说：“菲力浦，圣诞老人会带来很多好礼物。如果你是一个真正的好男孩，他就会给你带来你想要的东西。”“真的吗？”我说：“他能给我玩具火车吗？”爸爸妈妈向我保证一定会的。

　　要知道，等到圣诞节可有很长的一段时间。终于，圣诞夜来了，我把一只长筒补袜挂在了床脚，可是久久的，我都不能入睡。

　　第二天，我醒得特别早，迫不急待地朝袜子里找去，可什么也没发现。真是失望极了。我来到起居室，却惊奇地发现圣诞树下有一只大盒子。我赶紧拆开包装纸带，终于见到我日思夜想的玩具火车。

　　很多年过去了，我知道世界上并没有圣诞老人。但我并不失望，因为我知道，是我父母为我买了玩具火车。现在，每到圣诞节的时候，我都会记起四岁的那一次。我一直都很高兴，因为我是一个好孩子，爸爸妈妈也是那么爱我！
