Christmas Day was coming. I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to my Grandma because she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told me the truth. Grandma was home, and I told her everything. She was ready for me. "No Santa Claus !" She shouted. "Ridiculous! Don't believe it." That rumor has been going around for years, and it makes me mad, plain mad.

    "Now, put on your coat, and let's go."

    "Go where, Grandma?" I asked. "Where" turned out to be Kerby's General Store, the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars. "Take this money, " she said, "and buy something for someone who needs it. I'll wait for you in the car." Then she turned and walked out of Kerby's.

    I was only eight years old. I'd often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there, confused, holding that ten-dollar bill, wondering what to buy and who to buy it for. I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker, who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Mrs Pollock's grade-two class. Bobby Decker didn't have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for recess(放假) during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn't have a cough, and he didn't have a coat. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I settled on a red one, which looked really warm, and he would like that.

    "Is this a Christmas present for someone?" the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid my ten dollars down. "Yes."

    The nice lady smiled at me, put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas.

    "If mum finds out that I'm going to the beach, I'll be in big trouble." I said to myself softly in a low voice.

    I went downstairs slowly and tried to walk casually into the kitchen. As I was walking towards the back door, mum asked without looking up from her "dish-washing", "Where are you going?" I answered back without hesitation," I am going to the garden to play." After I got out of the kitchen, I breathed a sign of relief. My plan had worked out fine so far. I climbed the fence and jumped onto the muddy field next to my house and started running towards the bus stop at top speed,

    After half an hour I was at the beach scanning the crowd for my friends, Jimmy and Bobby. Two young men were racing in the canoes (独木舟). After a while, I saw them near a coconut tree. I ran towards them and got into my swimming trunk (游泳裤). For about an hour, we played volleyball happily.

    Suddenly, Bobby hit the ball too hard and the ball fell into the sea. Just as Bobby was going to pick up the ball, the tide came in and carried the ball further and further away from the shore. I wanted to show off my swimming skills so I declared to help get the ball for them.

    I dived into the water and started swimming at a steady pace. After swimming for about ten minutes, I became tired but when I saw that the ball was only a few feet away from me, I put in an extra burst of speed. However, just as I was going to get the ball, a very strong current swept the ball further away from me. At that moment, a string of weed (海草)tangled (缠绕) up with my feet and I could not swim properly.

    I struggled to keep afloat but it was no use. "If I had listened to my parents, this would never have happened," I thought silently.

Paragraph 1

Finally, after struggling for a minute or two, I still got pulled underwater.

Paragraph 2

When I woke up, I was in an empty room lying on a bed.

It was Christmas Day. Pappy was working alone fixing an old lantern in the backroom when he heard the ringing of his bell on the shop door. The bell, which produced a uniquely pleasant sound, had been in Pappy's family for over a hundred years. He valued it dearly and enjoyed sharing its song with all who came to his shop. Although the bell hung on the inside of the main door, Pappy had tied a wire to the screen door so that it would ring whether the inner door was open or not. Hearing the bell, he left the backroom to greet his customer.

"And how can I help you, little lady?" Pappy's voice was joyful.

"Hello, sir." The little girl spoke almost in a whisper. She looked at Pappy with her big brown eyes, and then slowly scanned the room in search of something special. Shyly she told him, "I'd like to buy a present, sir."

"Well, let's see," Pappy said, "who is this present for？"

"My grandpa. It's for my grandpa. But I don't know what to get."

Pappy began to make suggestions. "How about a pocket watch? It's in good condition." The little girl didn't answer. She had walked to the doorway and put her small hand on the door. She shook the door gently to ring the bell. Pappy's face seemed to glow as he saw her smiling with excitement.

"This is just right," the little girl said. "Momma says grandpa loves music."

Just then, Pappy's expression changed. Fearful of breaking the little girl's heart, he told her, "I'm sorry, Missy. That's not for sale. Maybe your grandpa would like this little radio. "

The girl looked at the radio, bowed her head, and sadly sighed," No, I don't think so. "

In an effort to help her understand, Pappy told her that the bell had been his only companion, for the rest of his family were all gone now, except for his estranged (疏远的) daughter whom he had not seen for nearly a decade.

Paragraph 1：

With a giant tear in her eye, the little girl looked up at him.  

Paragraph 2：

Later that evening when Pappy was closing up the shop, he heard a familiar ringing.

If there was one thing more than another that Brenda wanted for her birthday, it was a pair of skates. How she hoped her parents would give her a pair!

In vain (徒劳) her mother explained that Brenda might not learn to use them as easily as other children, and that she might fall many times and perhaps hurt herself before she could skate properly. Brenda wanted skates and that was that. She thought about skates all day and dreamed about skates all night. She pictured herself skating to school and home, skating to the stores for Mother, and skating all over the yard.

Her birthday came at last, and with it the precious package which she had been eager for. Before she opened it, she guessed there were skates inside. And there were — beautiful new shiny skates. Just her size, too. Brenda was on cloud nine. She felt she had never been so happy in all her life.

And now it was time to practice with them. Hardly was breakfast over when she was out on the smooth concrete(水泥地)."At last,"she thought,"I am going to skate! Hooray!"

Excitedly she put on her precious pairs of skates and eagerly she stood up. But only for a moment. Suddenly, to her great surprise, away went both her feet from under her. Down she went. Brenda stood up again. But hardly had she put one foot forward, when the other started running backward, and down she went again. This really hurt, and Brenda felt very much like crying. Slowly she got up once more despite the pain and started to walk with great care. But before she knew what was going on, she was sitting on the concrete again. She felt very sad, tears filling her eyes. All her hopes of skating to school and town like the other girls disappeared. She began to wish she had never asked for skates for her birthday. She cried, taking off the skates from her feet and throwing them inside the back door.

Mother saw all this and asked Brenda what was wrong.

Slowly Brenda put on the skates, got up and tried again.

William's upbringing took place in the vibrant yet challenging environs of Miami. His paternal progenitor oversaw a commercial enterprise dedicated to the trade of marine life in the Florida Keys, an endeavor in which William actively participated. The act of angling was an integral component of their existence. His father was wont to remark, "The pursuit of fishing is a tranquil endeavor, akin to a respite from the world's tumult."

Motivated by the wisdom imparted by his father, William established a philanthropic organization in Lakeland, Florida, that facilitated angling excursions for numerous youths. The organization's mission was to mentor economically disadvantaged children, often absent the guidance of paternal figures, in the art and sport of fishing.

In the course of the laborious weekdays, William was employed in the commerce of tire sales. However, during the respite of weekends, he, along with a cadre of volunteers—predominantly drawn from his own workshop—would shepherd approximately two score of young charges to partake in the angling activities along the nearby riverbanks. To ensure the safety and enjoyment of the angling experience for the children, he had previously orchestrated specialized training for his team in the disciplines of fishing and maritime navigation.

William took it upon himself to personally extend invitations to local abodes, beckoning the young ones to join in the angling sojourns. Many of these children had never before ventured onto a vessel or engaged in the act of fishing, thus William, or "Big Will," as he was endearingly known by the youngsters, commenced with imparting the fundamental principles of the sport. Subsequently, he imparted the life lessons that fishing could impart: the virtue of patience, the spirit of camaraderie, and the unadulterated pleasure of repose in the great outdoors. The fishing organization facilitated over six hundred such outings, engaging with nearly two thousand children who were devoid of paternal companionship in their formative years.

Naturally, William's magnanimous spirit garnered widespread acclaim within the societal sphere. Upon elucidating his philanthropic mission to Captain Jack, the overseer of a maritime vessel in Clearwater, the captain, in a gesture of solidarity, extended a favorable proposition to William. Consequently, the philanthropic fishing organization was able to reduce the expenditure for their weekend maritime ventures. The children were further inspired to practice the principle of releasing the juvenile marine life. During a recent voyage with children from a communal dwelling, William retained a selection of the larger fish, subsequently savoring a delectable fish stew with the children at the evening repast.

William continued to scour the community for youngsters in need, generously sharing his ardor for fishing with them. He articulated, "My sole aspiration is to demonstrate my concern for their well-being and to assure them of my steadfast support." Numerous children availed themselves of multiple outings, thereby enabling William to cultivate enduring relationships with them.

Big Will's reputation was growing，and the nonprofit fishing organization attracted more sponsors besides Captain Jack.
