5.Christmas Day in the Morning(426)

Sixth grade rewrite

Christmas Day in the Morning

【1】Once upon a time, there was a man who woke up very early on Christmas Day. He remembered that when he was a boy, his father would wake him up at four in the morning to help with the milking. Even though his father had passed away many years ago, the man still woke up at that time. But this Christmas morning, he decided to stay awake and enjoy the special day.

【2】He thought about his childhood and how he and his family would celebrate Christmas. They didn't have much money, but they had a big turkey and delicious mince pies. His sisters would make presents, and his parents would give him something he needed, like a warm jacket or a book. He always saved up to buy them gifts too.

【3】This year, he was alone with his wife, Alice. They had decided to decorate the Christmas tree the next day because Alice was tired. But on this Christmas morning, he felt a special magic in the air. He remembered a time when he was fifteen and wanted to give his father a special gift. He decided to milk the cows early in the barn so his father would find the work already done.

【4】He sneaked downstairs and went to the barn. The cows were surprised to see him so early, but they let him milk them. He worked hard and filled the milk cans. Then he went back to his room and waited for his father to find out.

【5】When his father discovered the milk was already done, he was very happy. He hugged his son and said it was the best Christmas gift he had ever received. The man remembered this moment every year on Christmas morning, even after his father had passed away.

【6】Now, he wanted to share this love with his wife. He wrote her a letter, telling her how much he loved her. He put the letter on the Christmas tree, hoping it would be a special surprise for her. As the sun rose, he felt happy and grateful for the love in his life.

【7】This story shows that love is the most important thing in life. It can be passed down from one generation to another, just like the man learned to love from his father. And on this Christmas morning, he was ready to share that love with his wife.

六年级改写

圣诞节的早晨

【1】从前，有一个人在圣诞节那天起得很早。他记得，当他还是个孩子的时候，他的父亲会在早上四点叫醒他，让他帮忙挤牛奶。尽管他的父亲许多年前就去世了，那个人仍然在那个时候醒来。但是这个圣诞节的早晨，他决定保持清醒，享受这个特殊的日子。

【2】他想起了自己的童年，想起了他和家人将如何庆祝圣诞节。他们没有多少钱，但他们有一只大火鸡和美味的肉馅饼。他的姐妹们会做礼物，他的父母会给他一些他需要的东西，比如一件暖和的夹克或一本书。他总是攒钱给他们买礼物。

【3】今年，他和他的妻子爱丽丝单独在一起。他们决定第二天装饰圣诞树，因为爱丽丝累了。但是在这个圣诞节的早晨，他感到空气中有一种特殊的魔力。他记得自己15岁时，想给父亲送一份特别的礼物。他决定早点在谷仓里挤牛奶，这样他父亲就会发现工作已经完成了。

【4】他偷偷溜下楼去了谷仓。奶牛看到他这么早很惊讶，但还是让他给它们挤奶。他努力工作，装满了牛奶罐。然后他回到自己的房间，等着他的父亲知道。

【5】当他父亲发现牛奶已经做好时，他非常高兴。他拥抱着儿子，说这是他收到过的最好的圣诞礼物。每年圣诞节的早晨，这个男人都会想起这一刻，即使他的父亲已经去世了。

【6】现在，他想与妻子分享这份爱。他给她写了一封信，告诉她他有多爱她。他把信挂在圣诞树上，希望这能给她一个特别的惊喜。当太阳升起的时候，他感到快乐和感激他生命中的爱。

【7】这个故事说明爱是生命中最重要的东西。它可以代代相传，就像男人从父亲那里学会了爱一样。在这个圣诞节的早晨，他准备和他的妻子分享这份爱。
