　　It snowed again．My seventh Christmas was round the corner．I dreamed of getting the present from Father Christmas until my elder sister dropped the bomb．“There is no Father Christmas．”

　　I ran to my grandmother’s house, for she always told the truth．Grandmother was at home．I told 　　1　　 everything．“No Father Christmas?”she was a little 　　2　　．“Don’t belive it．Put on your coat,and let’s go．”

　　“Go?Where，Grandma?” I asked．

　　“Kerby’s Store．”

　　As we walked through its doors．Grandma handed me the dollars and said．“Take the 　　3　　 and buy something for someone who needs it．I’ll wait for you in the car．”Then she turned and walked out of the Kerby’s．

　　For a few seconds I just stood there，holding the money，wondering 　　4　　 to buy，and who to buy it for．

　　I thought of 　　5　　 I knew my family，my friends，my neighbours…I suddenly thought of Bobbie Decbar, a 1　　6　　 with bad breath and messy hair．He sat right behind me 　　7　　 Mrs．Polack’s class．

　　Bobbie 　　8　　 went to any party during the winter．His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, 　　9　　 we all knew that he didn’t have a cough,and he didn’t have a coat．I decided to buy Bobbie a red warm coat 　　10　　 he would like．

　　That evening, grandma helped　me wrap the coat in Christmas paper and ribbons, and 　　11　　 “To Bobbie．From Father Christmas”on it．Grandma told me Father Christmas never let　people know that he 　　12　　 them．Then she drove me over to Bobbie’s home ,telling that I was helping Father Christmas 　　13　　 the presents．

　　Grandma parked the car along the street．a(chǎn)nd we hid behind the trees near Bobbie’s home．Then Grandma said to me．“All right, Father Christmas get going．”

　　I took a deep breath，rushed to his front door，put the present down 　　14　　 the door，rang the doorbell and flew back to the safety of the 　　15　　 and Grandma．We waited breathlessly in the dark for the front door to open．Finally it did and there stood Bobbie．

　　That night ,I realized that Father Christmas was alive and well．a(chǎn)nd we were on his team．
