One of the most detailed(详细的) descriptions Of a UEO was given by nine-year-old Gaynor in Sunderland in July 1976.

One day a dentist was starting his morning work. Suddenly a man ran in. His face was red and he could only say “Quick! Quick!” The dentist thought he must be very ill. His assistant helped to make the poor man sit in a chair. The dentist gave the man some medicine to make him sleep. Then, he looked into the man's mouth and pulled out all the bad teeth. As soon as the man woke up, he said in a low voice, “Quick, doctor, quick.”
“It's all right now,” the dentist told him, “It's over.”
“You don't understand,” said the man, “I came to tell you your house is on fire.”

    Some time ago, an old businessman had a large store in Boston. He wanted a boy to work for him, and he put an advertisement in the newspaper. The next morning, many boys came to the old man's office, asking for the job.
    There was a post（柱子）by his desk, and there was a nail（钉子）in it. He took a walking-stick and said, “Everyone has three chances. If anyone can hit the nail on the head with this stick more than once, I will give him the job. ”
    The boy thought it was very easy. They all tried, but nobody could make it. So the old man said, “I'm sorry I can't take any of you. ” And they left.
    He kept the advertisement in the papers, and the next morning many more boys came, and among them he saw a thin boy who had been there the day before. The boy hit the nail successfully for three times. The old man felt surprised and asked how he did that.
    “Yes,” said the boy, “I failed yesterday, but I thought that if I kept on trying a while, I could do it. So I went home and practiced hitting a nail with a stick till I could do it, and I got up very early this morning, and tried again. ”
    The old man said, “You are the boy for me,” and gave him the job. Whatever the boy had to do, he tried to do his best. It was not very long before he became the best clerk in the store.

We got to another planet and we were on our way back to the earth.

Suddenly, a UFO appeared and it made our spacecraft land on another planet. On the planet, a very strange-looking alien met us. He took my friends and me to see its master. All the aliens had four eyes, two heads and six legs. They had a white body and no hair.

The planet looked like a prison (监狱). We were scared and they gave us some food. No one ate the food.

The next day, they gave us a long list of things to do, but we couldn't understand them at all. They put us in a small room. After that, they did experiments(试验)on us. A few of us died and they put the rest of us back into the room.

One day, the alien who brought us to our room forgot to lock the door, so we ran away. Soon we flew back to the earth in our spacecraft.

We told people about our experience but no one believed us! After that, I never go into space again.

"Some gifts are tiny. Some gifts are needed. And some gifts... some gifts are priceless, "says 26-year-old Sarah Bricker of Minneapolis, USA. She had suffered from（受…之苦） hearing loss until she received the gift two years ago for Christmas --her first hearing aids（助听器）. They were from her parents. Here's what else she says:

"I remember the moment they were fit to my ears. And I remember every first that came after--The first time I heard my mother's voice. The first time I heard my father cry as he realized 1 could hear my mother. The first time I listened to Winter Wonderland on the radio and heard every word clearly. The first time I heard my best friend's voice, calling from England to wish me a Merry Christmas.

"My hearing aids are probably the best Christmas gift my parents have ever given to me. It might sound strange to say that, but until you lose your hearing, you never fully understand how unbelievablly valuable it is. How you miss the moment your partner says 'I love you. How you miss the jokes that everyone laughs at. How you miss- life. But now I don't miss life anymore."

However, he hearing aids were more than Just about hearing. They gave Sarah self-confidence（自信）,more chances to make new friends, the courage to take on new challenges. "Every day, they return to me a moment, a sound, a voice. They return to me the kaleidoscope（万花筒） of a life I'd once thought forever dark."
