    In the old times, there was a king. He had a very beautiful garden. In the garden, there was a tree with golden apples on it. But one day, one of the apples was missing. The king decided to order a person to keep watching the tree at night.
    The king had three sons. He decided to send the eldest one to watch the tree. But in the middle of the night, the eldest son fell asleep. The next morning, another apple was missing.
    The second night, the king sent the second eldest son. But the second eldest son also fell asleep at midnight. And another apple was missing the next morning.
    The third night, the king sent his youngest son. The youngest son kept watching the tree and ordered himself not to sleep. At twelve o'clock, he saw a bird. It was a golden bird. It picked an apple and flew away, but it left a golden feather(羽毛). The youngest son picked it up, and the next morning, he took it to the king. He told his father what he had seen at night. Hearing this, the king was very happy. He ordered his youngest son to guard(看守) the tree every night. He wanted him to catch the bird. However, in the end, they couldn't catch the bird and all the golden apples on the tree were taken away by the golden bird.

I have a friend who is a worker in a rest home. Her job is to take care of the old people who suffer from dementia(痴呆). 

She is a wonderful person, but she never gets to do anything for herself. All of her time is spent caring for the old. 

So, yesterday, I wanted to do something nice for her. A few months ago, a friend gave me a kit(成套工具) to make my own soap. I hadn't used it until then. I have found that making my own soap is a lot of fun, so I decided to make her a gift basket. I made three bars of soap to put in it and added a bag of bath salts and one bottle of lotion(化妆水). She often gets stressed out, so I hoped the basket would make her relaxed. I knew she would love it.

Then I surprised her by taking the basket to her house. She loved it, which made me feel wonderful!

Year after year, my brothers, sisters and I would wait on Christmas morning to hear my father's voice saying it was all right to come down. Usually, I was the first one to wake up. I have been able to remember Christmas since I was six or seven.

Even now, as I look through the boxes of Christmas decorations(装饰物), I see the same ones — the cards with our birthdays on them and our five stockings. But we all have jobs now, so it is usually a rushed activity.

Each year, especially as we get older, little things change. It almost brings a pain to a little place in my heart. The worst was the year after my grandparents had passed away. Instead of going to my grandparents' house on Christmas Eve, we just met in our house on Christmas Day. Now, when I recall it, I miss the time when my grandparents celebrated Christmas with us.

After all, every time I hear my father's words "All right, you guys, come down, nice and slow", I still have the same feelings in my heart — the feelings of love, giving, peace, and most of all, the true Christmas gift.
