There are a few
memories from our childhood that will stay with us forever. A few that seemed
so 36 at the time may cause us to
smile years later.
One such memory is a
phone call I 37 when I was about
three or four years old. My mother had entered a contest on a local 38
show. Entrants（參加者）were to tell an interesting story about their 39
. Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus（女圣誕老人）! Mrs. Claus would award（獎勵） the lucky
child free 40 of a local store.
Well, the call came. My
mother talked to Mrs. Claus and then 41 the
phone to me. I didn’t 42 the fact
that many people were listening to our conversation. However, the fact that
this lady had a 43 connection to
Santa, that was important.
I didn’t know it yet,
but my mother had 44 the attention
of the contest judges by telling about the time I had 45 a
wall with crayons（蠟筆）. Even I knew that this was not the kind of 46
that Santa would approve.
Suddenly, in a very
pleasant tone（語氣）of 47 ,
Mrs. Santa Claus asked me about my art work. I 48
that this lady was the real Mrs. Claus, not a radio station actress
standing in for her.
I 49
down the phone and ran crying from the room. My crime（罪行）had not 50 unpunished.
Santa would 51 know that I’d been
bad!
It turned out that I
did get a 52 present from the radio
station and its sponsor（贊助商）. And I guess Santa didn’t find out about the
wall. Maybe he did and was in a 53 mood.
In any case, my Christmas presents did not 54 a
piece of coal（煤）.
I wonder what Santa has
in 55 for this year. Hopefully my
wife hasn’t written Mrs. Claus any letters.
