Late one afternoon in December, my wife, Stacy, and I returned home to find something white in front of our door. It was like fallen snow, but it was strange to see snow in our area. It was a white cat.

“Where did you come from?” I asked him. The cat was friendly, and allowed us to come nearer to him. “Look! He has no collar(项圈),” Stacy said. “Perhaps he’s a homeless cat.” I hated to think of this little cat staying out in the cold. Stacy and I looked at each other. I knew we were thinking the same. We had a new cat, an early Christmas gift. We already had seven cats, so we had everything to make our new cat feel right at home.

The next day, when we got home from work, a white cat was waiting for us at the door. “Oh, no!” Stacy said. “The cat got out!” “What’s going on?” I asked and picked him up. “OK, we’ll get you inside.” When I opened the door, I was shocked—there was another white cat sitting on the floor. It was the white cat that we found yesterday. I looked at the cat in my arms, then back at the one on the floor. They looked the same. When I let him down, the second cat ran to the other. They played with each other like old friends. “They must be brothers!” Stacy said.

At last, they became members of our family. Kris and Kringle, our Christmas angels .

Once there was a girl named Kate. She was very polite and ready to help everybody. One day she found a pink paper bag on the way to school. She opened it and saw there was a lot of_______ in it. She thought she should hand it in to the teacher, so she_______ it in her schoolbag.

When she went to the teacher’s office, her teacher wasn't in. As it was time for class, she hurried to the classroom. After class, she told her friend, Mary, about the money that she _______. Then, her greedy(贪婪的))friend took away the bag. After school, Kate wanted to go to the teacher’s office again, but she found the money was missing.

The next day when playing a game, Mary fell down and was hurt badly. The other children stood around her and didn’t know _______ to do. Kate kept calm and did something to stop bleeding. She told the others to go to teachers for _______. Within a week Mary was all right again.

Two weeks later Mary came to Kate's house. Her eyes were red. She was crying. She gave Kate the _______ paper bag with the money in it and said. “Kate, I have taken the money away. That day when you helped me, I felt very sad and now I decide to tell you the _______. You are such a nice friend! I promise(承诺) I won’t do it again, _______ please don’t tell the school about this. Please!” Then Kate said, “You are now _______, but you have done a bad thing. Though I will not tell anyone, I want you not to be greedy and ________ to do anything wrong.” The girl thanked Kate and cheered up.

At the end of the term Kate was given a prize for being a very helpful girl in the school. Mary became a good girl and was never greedy again. Once wrong, never be wrong forever.
