    It is Christmas Day. There is a big party in the house. Guests come and go, but the party goes on.

    Kitty is sitting in the chair. She is eating some sandwiches. On the long table, there is lots of other, food. There are four eggs, ten sweets, one cake and six biscuits.

    There are some toys in the house, too. They are balls, toy bears, toy robots and Barbie dolls. Children like playing all the toys. Girls like playing the dolls. Boys like playing the bails. They are excited.

    Mrs. Wang is in the kitchen. She is cooking some chicken. Mr. Wang is in the house. He is under a tree. It is a Christmas tree. Mr. Wang is putting many presents on the tree. Now the tree is very beautiful. Every child can get a present from the tree.

    Some animals collect their winter food in the autumn. In the winter, they just stay at home and eat the food they collect in the autumn. For example, squirrels collect seeds and nuts, and beavers collect sticks.

    Many birds cannot find food in the winter, so they fly from the north to the south in the autumn. They fly back the next spring. For example, swans and wild geese fly away in the autumn, because they can find food in the warm south.

    Some animals sleep for a long time in the winter. They eat a lot of food in the autumn. In the winter, they do not eat anything. They are hungry when they wake up in the spring. They usually look for food in March or April. Bears, snakes and frogs are such animals.

    Winter is cold in many countries, but these smart animals can spend it safely.
