A Wonderful Christmas Gift
Ann and her mother had lived in a small cottage as long as Ann could
．
Christmas was so close．Ann wished she could get a new
with lace as a wonderful Christmas gift．But Ann did not want to ask her Mom for a new dress．She knew how hard her mom worked to
both ends meet．Maybe she could make a
—maybe Santa Claus would come…
It was not just gift that
Ann．It was her mother．Nowadays she was working overtime and looked
and worn out．
The days passed and soon it was Christmas Eve．Ann went to bed with a
heart．She knew that there would be
gifts for her．
Ring…．Ring…Ann jumped，hearing alarm．
She suddenly remembered it’s Christmas day．Without much hope she looked
there were any gifts for her．Wonder of wonders! There lay a beautiful packet
with a red ribbon．
Ann
opened the package．It was a pretty frock with attractive lace．The material was soft and silky
the hard material of the dresses she usually wore．
She checked the gift carefully to
who gave her the frock．Suddenly a small piece of paper fell out．Ann
started to read the note．
“Dear Ann，
This frock is gifted to you for being a good girl．Hope you continue to do good things and help your mother．
Yours，
Santa Claus”
Ann felt that there was something
about this note．She
the note carefully. Then it struck her．She realized this
is her mother's．Her mother had worked overtime to
money to buy this expensive sift．Ann was happy beyond
．She knew that she is the
girl to have such a wonderful mother as a wonderful Christmas gift.
