Santa Can Come before Christmas
It was last June. I entered a supermarket to pick some vegetables, when a young man asked me, “Can you tell me where the ________ counter（柜台） is? ”
“Well, the milk is in the lower right corner.” I replied.
Picking up my things, I finally came to the milk counter where I met the same man ________ almost 10 bottles of milk in his hands. I asked him ________ he needed a trolley or not?
“Sure, thank you.” he answered.
I was ________ he was still picking more bottles and after a few minutes his trolley was full of milk. There were over twenty bottles of milk ________ it.
I laughed and asked, “Why so many bottles?”
He smiled and said, “These are for my street dogs. Today, I want to be a Santa for ________ .”
I said, “Well, it’s too ________ for you to be a Santa. It is still June and Christmas comes in December.”
He ________ at me and walked a few steps, as if he wanted to say something but he left the counter without saying ________ .
________ ,we met again at the bread counter.
“So these bread and cakes are also for the street dogs, Mr. Santa.”
He smiled and said, “Yes, these are also for the dogs and I love to be Mr. Santa in the month of June, Santa is a symbol of surprises and ________ . Santa comes in December as we ________ him around Christmas. But in real life there is a Santa in each one of us, no matter which month it is. Maybe when you offered help to me by getting me a trolley, there was a ________ Santa in you. When we offer food to a poor man or a(n) ________ to someone who is caught in the rain, we are being Santa there, So when you offer help to others or get help from others, just think that Santa has come all the way for you.”
He left and I was happy that I had met him. It was right to understand that Santa can come before Christmas. We just need to realize that he is around us by ________ love and joy.

On the evening of last Sunday while I was reviewing my lessons in my room, it suddenly began to rain. as usual, I stopped to listen to the rhythm (韵律) of the rain. For many years, whenever it rains, I couldn’t listening to it and thinking of the garden where I spent my childhood in my hometown.

When small drops of rain fall from the heaven (天国) in a row, they became a curtain made up of pearls (珍珠); when the raindrops the ground, a lot of small sprays (水花) will splash (溅出) and then slowly.
I have been interested in watching such a scene. As the Indian poet wrote in his novel, “The raindrops kissed the earth and whispered. We are the homesick children, Mother; we come back to you from the heaven.”
Listening to the rhythm of the rain, I feel peaceful in my heart. This feeling makes me think a lot about life. We are the of the earth, and one day we will embrace (拥抱) our earth and stay with her forever (永远). Life is short and we should treasure it. Listening to the rhythm of the rain, I learn to understand the of life.
