妹妹的信箱里多了一封从北极来的信,是Santa的邀请信,邀请妹妹参加Christmas Party,地点是在妈妈上班的地方。妹妹太激动了,没有看完信,就欣然击键,写下了给Santa的第一封信。
"Hi Santa, I am not sure I will come to north pole because I will go to Lego land.
Love xxx"
写完了,觉得实在是遗憾难平,又写了第二封
"Hi Santa, when do you want me to come to north pole and to see you?
Love xxx"
妹妹没有收到回信,不过也终于明白,Santa并不一定需要她到北极看他,Santa是想送礼物,首要之急,是让Santa知道自己想要什么。第三封信是这样的:
"Hi Santa, i love you and these are things I would like:
A the lego ninjago dojo.
B the lego ninjago the fire temple.
C a Nitendo DS
接下来的几天,象邻近圣诞节时,所有满怀憧憬的孩子一样,时常会被被警告,表现不好可能上不了Santa的Nice list上,那礼物也就会泡汤。妹妹当众嘴硬,自己却悄悄地又写了第四封信:
"Hi Santa, I am happy I am on your nice list, I wasn't on your nice list, but now I am!
Love xxx"
大概是对自己的表现实在没有信心,妹妹决定和Santa搞搞关系, 第五封信:
"Hi Santa, you are on my nice list, you just got on it!
Love xxx"
可这样没有诱惑力的贿赂,连自己也不能说服,还是走实力派路线吧,第六封信:
“Hi Santa, these are what i did to make sure i am on your nice list.
A play piano when my dad said so.
B i mostly play nice to my big brother xxx.
C i do what i do.”
这样的吹嘘也不能说是太过分,尤其是第三条,是多么得实事求是。
六封信发出多日都石沉大海,妹妹对Santa着实有些失望,发出了质问的第七封信:
“Hello Santa, do you just check your gmail 1 time each year?
love xxx”
