媽媽，我可以把圣誕樹(shù)帶回房間嗎?

怎么了，寶貝?需要談?wù)剢?

Kate: Kevin told me this morning that if I made wishes in front of it Santa would make them true.

凱文告訴我說(shuō)如果我在圣誕樹(shù)前面許愿的話，圣誕老人會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)的。

Mom: You can tell me about your wishes. Then I can call Santa.

你可以告訴我你的愿望。然后我可以打電話給圣誕老人。

Kate: Thanks, mom. But he told me that I had to do it all by myself.

謝謝，媽媽。但是他告訴我應(yīng)該自己做。

Mom: Okay, sweetie. But I want to tell you that if your wishes don’t come true, it doesn’t mean Santa doesn't like you. He is very busy. There are many children in the world who need his help.

好吧，寶貝。但是我想說(shuō)如果你的愿望沒(méi)有實(shí)現(xiàn)，并不意味圣誕老人不喜歡你。他很忙。有很多小朋友需要他的幫助。

我知道，媽媽。圣誕老人，我想爸爸回家。媽媽說(shuō)有個(gè)女人有麻煩了。她需要我爸爸。但是他已經(jīng)離開(kāi)半年了。我很想他。
