1.Christmas is coming.Father Christmas goes from house to house with presents.圣诞节到了，圣诞老人挨家挨户地给孩子们送礼物。

2.Mingminghasbeen waiting for him.Oh,here he comes！明明一直盼望着圣诞老人能到他这儿来。哇!圣诞老人真的来了。

3.Mingming gets a pair of leather shoes,“The same as those I throw away.”明明得到一双皮鞋，说道：“这鞋跟我扔掉的那双一样。”

4. “They are your favourites.I mend them and put some shoe cream.Look,how beautiful!”“这就是那双你最喜欢的鞋，我缝补好了，擦了鞋油。瞧，多漂亮啊！”

5.Mingming’s face is red.“Thank you,Father Christmas.”“You are welcome.Anything else to throw away?”明明红着脸说：“谢谢圣诞老人！”“不用谢，你还有要仍的东西吗?”

6.Mingming is a little puzzled.Looking atthe old toys and pencil boxes,“No,”says he quietly.明明有点不解，他看了看那些旧玩具和旧文具盒，小声地说：“没有了，没有了。”

7. “I’ll give Qinqin a snow cap, ”says Father Christmas.“Is the one Qinqin throws away?”asks Mingming.“那我就给芹芹送风雪帽去了。”圣诞老人说。“是芹芹丢了的那顶风雪帽吗?”明明问。

8. Father Christmas smiles and says,“Yes!They liked the presents at beginning,but after some time they would throw them away.”圣诞老人笑着说道：“是啊！他们开始都喜欢这些礼物，后来却又扔掉了。”

9. With that, Father Christmas leaves in the snow.After a short while,he has collected a big bag of old presents.说完这些话，圣诞老人就冒着大学离开了。没过多久，他就收集到了一大包旧礼物。

10.The next day,the children gettogetherand show each other the presents,they are the same as what the threw away,but newer and more beautiful.第二天，小朋友们聚到一起，相互展示自己的礼物。他们的礼物跟自己扔掉的东西一样，只是更新更漂亮了。

11.Mingming comes to understand and tells the truth he found the day before.Everyone is surprised and understands why Father Christmas has countless presents.明明突然明白了，于是把昨晚发现的秘密说出来，大家这才明白，圣诞老人为什么永远有送不完的礼物。
