Ali Pasas: Surprisingly! Bei! Give to Karagiozi his clothes. He is starting work.

Beis: At once Pasa.

Ali Pasas: Here you are. Go to the central square and give the food and presents.

Karagiozis: Ok Pasa.

Karagiozis went to the center square and started saying<<Sweets!>>.For his bad luck, Beis went there to see Karagiozi. Meanwhile, Karagiozis started eating all the sweets and food. Beis saw him and said:

Beis: Stop! Stop! What are you doing there? Let' s go to Ali Pasa! Now!

At palace….

Beis: Walk! Walk!

Karagiozis: What did I do?

Beis: Ali Pasa, he ate all sweets and food we gave to him!

Ali Pasas: For this, your penalty is incessant hunger! Leave now!

So, Karagiozis thought that he would eat all Christmas and his stomach would be full, now his stomach isn't full and Beis watches him all the time and he can't eat even a little biscuit!!!!!!!!!!!

        In a few days we have Christmas. Everybody is happy, especially the little children. All of us decorate our houses with joy and the whole city is decorated, too. There Santa Claus' sledges with reindeers and Christmas trees everywhere. There are colourful lights all over, in the squares, in the streets and the atmosphere is festive, but not for all.

          Yesterday, I went with my friends for a walk in the centre of the city, to see the beautiful decorations and fancy storefronts. In the corner of a street we saw a boy of our age, begging for money. We felt so sorry for him! It is Christmas and every child must be cheerful.

I ask him, "Why are you standing here alone in the cold? Do you have such a big need?"

"My family is very poor and we have almost nothing to eat" he answered to me. "My mum and dad lost their jobs and I have two younger brothers. We all do whatever we can for our family".

          I know that the things are bad for many people in my country but I think that the children must not suffer this way. We all must do everything we can. So, my friends and I decided to do something to help this poor boy and his family. We decided to gather toys and clothes for him and his brothers. My friend George had another idea, to speak to our school and maybe to gather some money. We also decided to speak to our families to find a job for the parents of our new friend.

 We told him about our plans and his face shone. He told us where he lives so we can find him.

  Last night I could not sleep. I was thinking of what happened and I could not wait to start working on our plan. I know that Santa Claus is going to bring me a beautiful gift but I think that nothing is going to make me happier than to help in that way I will offer. This joy and pride is the best gift.

Now I know what Christmas spirit means.

I asked him: "Where are you going? ". 

He said :" We are going to North Pole! Do you want to come with us? ".

I was afraid but I wanted to go with him. When I walked into the train, I saw a lot of children like me. The man gave us hot chocolate. All the children wanted to meet Santa Claus. The train ran very fast and after hours we arrived to North Pole.

When I walked out of the train I saw the biggest Christmas tree that I have ever seen. Under the Christmas tree there were thousands of presents. The Elves welcomed us and they gave us lollipops.

Suddenly, Santa Claus showed up. We were all excited. He said that he would choose one of us to help him. He wanted to give the presents to kids all over the world. I didn't believe that he would choose me.

But he looked at me and he said: " Chris come with me ".

I followed him and we flew together all over the world. We gave the presents to all the children of the world.

In the morning we came back and we were very tired. It was the most exciting day of my life!

ON CHRISTMAS DAY THREE CHILDREN WROTE A LETTER TO SANTA CLAUS.

THE FIRST CHILD' NAME WAS JACK, THE SECOND WAS  GEORGE AND THE THIRD WAS JONE.

THEN, THE CHILDREN WENT TO THE POST OFFICE TO SEND THEIR LETTERS. AT NIGHT THE THREE CHILDREN WENT TO BED. AT 2:00 O'CLOCK THE CHILDREN WOKE UP BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO SEE SANDA CLAUS.

SANTA CLAUS WENT DOWN THE CHIMNEY.THE THREE CHILDREN WERE HAPPY TO MEET HIM.SANTA CLAUS GAVE THEM THEIR PRESENTS.THEN, HE LEFT BECAUSE HE WANTED TO VISIT MANY OTHER CHILDREN, TOO.

THE CHILDREN OPENED THEIR PRESENTS AND WERE VERY HAPPY.

-Mum , come on!

-What's up , Anna?

-Can you buy me this doll?

-No , I can't. It's very expensive!

Anna didn't notice that the doll had blond hair , blue shoes , white socks , an umbrella , a bag , a blue hat and blue eyes , like she!

-Thank you , Mum!

-What?

-Didn't you buy me this doll?

-No!

-O.K!

After a few days the doll lost an eye , lost the umbrella , lost the bag , lost the hat , lost a shoe and a sock , riped the dress and a few tufts of hair came out.

-Annaaa! said the doll but Anna didn't hear.

-Annaaa! I'm going down stairs , going to the kitchen , taking the knife and going up stairs. I am in your room! Anna , bye-bye!
