wife,saw me.
It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected.I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed.It was partly true.But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.
First I had to get the kids to sleep.That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult.The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early.I told him 10:30 pm was not early.As usual,I read them a bedtime story,but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.
Silence finally came,and feeling like a thief in the night,I went out of the house and into the garage.Taking one end,I dragged the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden.I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.
It was already eleven o'clock.By the light of the moon I started working,trying to make as little noise as possible.And that was not easy with a saw (锯子) and a hammer.
After much effort,my work was finally completed.I looked down at my watch.It was exactly 4:00 am.Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep.It wouldn't be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree house Father Christmas had brought them this year.

One pleasant New-year morning,Edward got up and dressed himself in a hurry.He wanted to be the first to wish a happy New Year.
He looked in every room,and shouted“Happy New Year”to every one of his family.Then he ran into the street,to repeat them to those he met.When he came back,his father gave him two bright,new silver dollars.His face lighted up as he took them.He had wished for a long time to buy some nice books.
As he ran down the street with a light heart to the bookshop,he saw a poor German family,the father,mother,and three children walking in the cold wind.
“I wish you a happy New Year,”said Edward,as he was happily passing on.The man shook his head.“You do not belong to this country?”asked Edward.The man again shook his head,for he could not understand or speak English.But he pointed to his mouth,and to the children,as if to say,“These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.”
Edward quickly understood that these people were poor and in trouble.He took out his dollars,and gave one to the man,and the other to his wife.They said something in their language,which doubtlessly meant,“We thank you a thousand times,and will remember you forever.”
When Edward came home,his father asked what books he had bought.He hung his head a moment,but quickly looked up.“I have bought no books,”said he,“I gave my money to some poor people,who seemed to be very hungry and tired.I think I can wait for my books till next New Year.Oh,if only you had seen how glad they were to receive the money!”“My dear boy,”said his father,“here are some books.I give them to you,more as a reward for your goodness of heart than as a New-year gift.”

The Double Ninth Festival is a traditional Chinese festival. On that day, people usually climb mountains and go outing with their family. It's also a day to show respect to the old.
As a teenager, I try my best to do what I can to be nice to the old. I often visit my grandparents on weekends and talk to them and cheer them up. I also help them with the housework. Meanwhile, I am polite to the old. When I see them on the bus, I always offer them my seat. Moreover, I volunteer to look after the old who live alone in our neighborhood. I help them carry heavy things when they need help.
I think it's very important to respect the old because they have done a lot to their family and to the country. One day, we will all be old.
