Betsy and I are pupils. I am in the fourth grade and my sister is in the second grade. We are at school now. It is a big break between lessons. My sister, our friends and I are in the school cafeteria. We are sitting at a big table all together.
“Christmas is coming soon,” Betsy says. “This is a very special time to do something good for others.”
“Yes, we want to do something good, but we just don’t know what? Can you help us? Do you have any ideas?” I ask our friends.
“Well, I have one idea!” Archie says. Archie is my sister’s classmate. He is a Dalmatian. “We can make gingerbread.”
“Yes, gingerbread is not very hard to make.” Mikky says. Mikky is my classmate. He is a Husky. “I know how to make it.”
“And then we can put the gingerbread into beautiful paper bags, put red ribbon on it and give it away.” Mary says. Mary is my schoolmate. She is a Spaniel.
“I like this idea!” Betsy says. “We will make gingerbread during Christmas time.”
“I want to help you. Can I do it with you?” Mary asks.
“Of course you can!” Betsy answers.
“And I want to help you too!” Archie and Mikky say together.
“Yes, let’s make it all together!” Betsy says. “We will have a lot of fun.”
“Also we can go to our friends’ houses and sing Christmas carols together.” Archie says.
“I love to sing carols!” Mary says.
“And we can draw Christmas cards and put them secretly at other dog’s doors.” Mikky says.
