There once was an old man aged 50.who had a lazy son aged 30. The son couldn’t earn his own living(谋生), and still lived on his old father for food and clothing.
The old man was very worried about him. So he took him to the fortune teller(算命先生)to have his fortune told.The father and son both believed what the fortune teller said —the father would live to 80 and the son to 62.
After they found out how long they were going to live, the son was very sad. His father comforted(安慰)him, “Don’t be so sad! You are only 30 now, and still have 32 years of good days ahead of you.”
“I'm not worrying about my own age. It’s your age which causes me great worry,” the son said.
The father was greatly moved and said, “Don’t worry about me so much. I've got 30 years ahead of me too.”
“I’m not worried about your age either,” said the son. “I have found out that you’11 die two years earlier than I. So who will I depend on in the two years after your death?”

My dad was driving to the city center to shop and I was going along for the ride. At least that was what I had told him—   1  I had an important question to ask—that had been on my mind for a couple of weeks and this was the first time I had been able to   2  with him alone.
“Dad…”I started. And   3 .
“Yes?” he said.
“The kids say there is no Father Christmas. They say I’m   4  to believe in Father Christmas anymore…it’s only for little kids. But I believe what you told me. Father Christmas is __5 . He is, isn’t he, Dad?”
“The real life and spirit of this magical elf (精灵) lives forever in your heart, my heart, Mom’s heart and in the hearts and minds of   6  people who believe in the joy that giving to others brings. The real   7  of Father Christmas becomes what you can give rather what you get. Once you understand this and it becomes   8  of you, Father Christmas becomes even more exciting and more magical because you come to   9  the magic comes from you when Father Christmas lives in your heart. Do you understand what I am   10  to tell you?”
My heart was filled with pride and I’m sure my eyes were shining with   11 .” Of course, Dad. I want him to be in my heart, just like he’s in yours. I love you, Daddy. You’re the best Father Christmas who has   12  been in the whole world.”
When it comes time in my life to   13  the reality of Father Christmas to my children, I hope that I will be as eloquent (有口才) and   14  as my dad was the day I learned that the spirit of Father Christmas doesn’t wear a red   15 . And I hope they will accept me as I did that day. I’m sure they will.
