It was raining as my sister Jill and I ran out of the Church. We were eager (渴望) to get home and play with the 1 that Santa Claus had left for us. Across the street from the church was a gas station. It was 2 because workers went home for Christmas, but I noticed a family standing outside the door to keep dry. I 3 why they were there but then forgot about them as I had to keep up with Jill.
When we got home, there was 4 time to enjoy our presents. We had to go off to our grandparents' house for our Christmas 5. While we drove down the highway through town,
I noticed that the family was still there, standing outside the closed gas station. I saw that there were 6 of them: the parents and three children-—two girls and a small boy. My father rolled down his window and asked the man, "Are you waiting for the 7?"The man said they were. "Well, you're getting wet standing here. Why don't you all 8 the car and I'll drive you up there. "The man thought about it for a moment, and then they climbed into the car. They had9 with them, only the clothes they were wearing.
Once they sat down, my father 10 back over his shoulder and asked the children if Santa Claus had found them yet. Three 11 faces gave him their answer. "Well, when I saw Santa this morning, he told me that he was having trouble finding you all, and he asked me 12he could leave your toys at my house. We'll first go and get them before I take you to the bus stop. "All at one, the three children's faces 13 up, laughing and chattering.
When we got out of the car at our house, the three children ran 14 the front door and straight to the toys that were under our Christmas tree. When leaving, my father invited them to join us for dinner, but the parents refused.
All this happened a long time ago, but the 15 of it remains clear. That was the Christmas when my sisters and I learned the joy of making others happy.
