When I was a kid, my brother dropped the bomb: "No Santa Claus （Father Christmas）!" I fled to Grandma because I knew she would 36 me the truth．I told her everything．"No!" she said．"Ridiculous! Don' t 37 it．"
After dinner, we went to General Store．Grandma handed me ten 38 ．"Take it and buy something for whoever needs it．I'll wait in the 39 ．" I' d often gone shopping with Mother, but never had I shopped 40 ．For moments, I stood there, confused, 41 what to do with it．I thought of everybody I knew． 42 I thought of Bobbie Decker．His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough．We all knew that Bobbie would have no cough 43 he had a thicker coat．So I decided to buy Bobbie one．"Is this a present for 44 ?" the saleslady asked me kindly．I 45 shyly．She smiled, handed it to me and wished me a merry Christmas．Then Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Santa Claus 46 and ribbons and write "To Bobbie, From Santa Claus " on it．Then she 47 me over to Bobbie's house．Grandma parked down the street from Bobbie' s house．We 48 noiselessly and hid in the 49 by his front walk．"All right, Santa Claus," she 50 ,"get going．" I rushed out, threw the present down at his front door, 51 his doorbell and flew back to the safety．Together we 52 breathlessly in the darkness for the front door to open．
Forty years I haven' t forgotten those 53 I spent shivering （颤抖）in Bobbie' s bushes．That night, I realized that the stories about Santa Clause were really ridiculous ．Santa Claus was alive, 54 we were on his 55 ．
