Question

Santa Can Come before Christmas

It was last June. I was shopping in a supermarket. A young man walked up and asked, “Can you tell me where the ________ counter is?”

“In the lower right corner.” I replied.

Some minutes later, I met the same man ________ almost 10 bottles of milk.

I asked, “Do you need a trolley (手推车)?”

“Sure, thanks.” he answered.

Then I was ________ that his trolley had 24 bottles of milk and was still ________ more ones.

I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you have so many bottles?”

“These are for my street ________ . I want to be a Santa ________ them.”

“It’s too _______ to be a Santa. It is still June.”

He turned at me but saying _______ .

________, we met again at the bread counter.

“So these bread and cakes are also for the street dogs, Mr. Santa?”

“Yes. I love to be Mr. Santa in the month of June. Santa is a ________ of surprise and love. He comes in December as we ________ him around Christmas. But in real life there is a Santa that shines at some time, ________ which month it is. Maybe when you offered a trolley to me, there was a ________Santa in you. When we offer food to a poor man or a(n)________to someone who is caught in the rain, we are being Santa there. So just think that Santa has come all the way for you.”

He is right. We just need to realize that Santa is around us by ________ happiness and unconditional (无条件的) love. He can come before Christmas.
