Mr. Dawson is an old man with a bad temper (脾氣). Kids were afraid to go into his yard to pick apples.

One day, 12-year-old Janet and her friend Amy had to walk past Mr. Dawson’ s house. When Janet saw him outside, she suggested they cross the street and walk on the other side. But Amy said they didn’t need to.

When Mr. Dawson saw Amy, he smiled and said: “ Hello, Amy! I see you have a new friend with you today.” Amy smiled back. Mr. Dawson was friendly and gave them each a fresh apple.

Later, Janet asked Amy: “ Everyone says he is the most unwelcoming(不受歡迎的) person in town. Why was he kind to us?” Amy explained that when she first walked past his house, she was also afraid of him. But she pretended(假裝) there was an invisible(看不見的) smile on his face and started talking to him. At first she only said “hello” but then began talking to him more every time she saw him.

“An invisible smile?” Janet was puzzled (困惑的). “Yes,” answered Amy. “My grandma told me to try that. She says smiles can spread. So if we keep trying to smile at someone, sooner or later they will smile back.”

It was Christmas Eve. When everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn’t fall asleep. He still couldn’t think of what he wanted as a special Christmas present. He wanted to know how Santa — Father Christmas would know what to bring him if he didn’t know himself.

As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof(屋頂) and a sound downstairs(樓下). It was Santa Claus, he thought. Bunny jumped out of bed and ran down the hall to the stairs. He hoped to take a look at the old man before Santa left for his next stop.

By the time Bunny was on the ground floor, everything was still again. Lots of presents were put under the Christmas tree, but Santa was gone. A little disappointed(失望的), Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry.

“Hello,” said Bunny. “Is somebody there?”

Another cry answered him. Bunny looked around the big pile of presents to see what made the noise. Right under the tree was a funny brown animal with big feet and sad eyes. It also had antlers(鹿角) on its head. Bunny almost mistook(誤解) it for a dog.

“Are you a reindeer?” asked Bunny.

“Yes,” replied the brown animal with antlers. “My name is Ralph.”

“And you were pulling Santa’s sled(雪橇)?”

“I was until(直到) I got air-sick,” replied Ralph. “Santa had to leave me here and go on with the other seven reindeer.”

“Isn’t it a bit unusual for a reindeer to get air-sick? I mean, reindeer are famous for flying.”

“Not me, I’m afraid. It makes me afraid. I always feel sick when it comes to flying,” replied Ralph. “But everyone wanted me to pull Santa’s sled, so when it was my turn I tried. I’m afraid I just wasn’t cut out for the job. Now I’m stuck here and I don’t know how to get back to the North Pole.”

“Well, if you like, you can stay with us as a friend,” said Bunny. As he made the offer, Bunny suddenly found the special present he wanted from Santa was a new friend!
