There are a few memories from our childhood that will stay with us forever. A few that seemed so
36 at the time may cause us to smile years later.
One such memory is a phone call I
37 when I was about three or four years old. My mother had entered a contest on a local
38 show. Entrants（参加者）were to tell an interesting story about their
39 . Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus（女圣诞老人）! Mrs. Claus would award（奖励） the lucky child free
40 of a local store.
Well, the call came. My mother talked to Mrs. Claus and then
41 the phone to me. I didn’t
42 the fact that many people were listening to our conversation. However, the fact that this lady had a
43 connection to Santa, that was important.
I didn’t know it yet, but my mother had
44 the attention of the contest judges by telling about the time I had
45 a wall with crayons（蜡笔）. Even I knew that this was not the kind of
46 that Santa would approve.
Suddenly, in a very pleasant tone（语气）of
47 , Mrs. Santa Claus asked me about my art work. I
48 that this lady was the real Mrs. Claus, not a radio station actress standing in for her.
I
49 down the phone and ran crying from the room. My crime（罪行）had not
50 unpunished. Santa would
51 know that I’d been bad!
It turned out that I did get a
52 present from the radio station and its sponsor（赞助商）. And I guess Santa didn’t find out about the wall. Maybe he did and was in a
53 mood. In any case, my Christmas presents did not
54 a piece of coal（煤）.
I wonder what Santa has in
55 for this year. Hopefully my wife hasn’t written Mrs. Claus any letters.
