What must you do when you receive a present of your birthday? You have to sit down and write a thank-you note. The words "Thank you" are very important. We have to use them on so many occasions. We say them when someone gives us a drink, helps up to pick up things, hand us a letter, lends us a book or gives us a lift.

Another important word is "Please". Many people forget to use it. It's rude to ask someone to do something without saying "Please". We have to use it when we ask for something, too. It may be a book or a pencil, more rice or more soup, help or advice. It may be in the classroom, at home, at the bus-stop or the counter. We have to use "Please" to make request pleasant.

We have to learn to say "sorry" too. When we have hurt someone's feelings, we'll have to go up and say we're sorry. When we have told a lie and feel sorry, we will have to use the same word. When we have forgotten something or broken a promise, we will have to explain with that word, too. "sorry" is a healing (和解的)word. We can make people forget wrongs by using it sincerely.

The wish for gifts usually proves stronger. But though children go to bed early, they often lie for a long time, hoping to get a short look at Father Christmas.

　　Last Christmas, my wife and I managed to hide a few large presents in the storeroom. I feared the moment when my son, Jimmy, would me where that new bike had come from, but he did not see it.

　　On Christmas Eve, it took the children hours to go to sleep. It must have been nearly when my wife and I went quietly into their room and began stockings. Then I pushed in the I bought for Jimmy and left it beside the Christmas tree. We knew we would not get sleep that night, for the children were to get up early. At about five o'clock the next morning, we were woken by loud sounds coming from the children's room － they were shouting excitedly! I had time to get out of bed, young Jimmy came into the room on his new bike, and his sister, Mary, close behind pushing her new baby carriage.
