  On a snowy and windy afternoon, An-drea, a ten-year-old girl, went out for play. She was walking along the sands when she was blown into a ditch (沟) by the seashore. She was frightened and tried her best to climb out. But the ditch was too deep and she was too weak to get out of it. So Andrea cried at the top of her voice for help. But what she could hear over the snow ditch was nothing but the terrible noise of the wind. Nobody came to her and nobody knew where she was. She struggled (挣扎) again and again. Her face was whipped by the strong wind, snow and sand, and she was almost fro-zen. Her hands began to feel stiff (僵硬). She also felt her strength running out of her. She started to cry hopelessly. Just at the moment Andrea saw a black dog appearing, through the heavy snow. It was Villa, her true friend. She was glad to see the sign of life. And the dog set out to work as soon as she got to An-drea. She cleaned away the snow around her with her paws and hind leg's, then reached out her big strong fur head to Andrea. The little girl closed her arms round Villa's neck. The dog backed away slowly, pulling her out of the ditch inch by inch.

  In 1970, my five brothers, my sister and I lived in the housing projects of Toronto with our parents.My father was a factory worker, and my mother stayed at home.Each year my father would dress up as Santa Claus and go through the streets of the projects sharing joy and candies with the children there.He loved it as much as they did!

  But around the Christmas in 1970, my father was out of his job and money was tight.In fact, there was no money for Christmas and my parents weren’t sure what they’d provide for us.

  We never knew who the man was and who showed us great kindness on a snowy Christmas night.We do know, however, that without him we would have had nothing under the tree.His kindness gave my parents hope and showed us in a very real way the true meaning of Christmas.
