Smiths had just moved to the town
Brampton. It was a very big change
for them because they used to live
in London, England. The Smiths
had to move because the father

house in London. It was a man-
sion. They live in tl very large
house now. It was only a few
weeks until Christmas time. Rick
(the son) wanted all the toys that
had just come out. Everyone was
getting excited about Christmas,
and talking about what they want-
ed, except for one poor little girl at
Rick's school. Her family didn't
have much; all they had was some-
times a meal, and one bed. Katey
wasn't looking forward to Christ-
mas because she knew she wasn't
geeing anything. One day at school
Katcy was leaning against the
school wall, watching the children
play in the snow. A bunch of boys
walked past Katey. "What are you
getting for Christm Katey?" Rick
_asked. "I don't kn6w." she replied.
"You're not getting nothing for
Christmas! You can't even afford

it" Katey ran off crying "What did I
say" Rick said in a very.confused
voice. That night Rick realized how
lucky he was. On Christmas morn-
ing Katey Woke up and expected
nothing, buf there was a cheque for
$3000 dollars! On the table were
five grocery bags of food, and some
new clothes. "Mom, Dad, come
quick!" "Isn't it wonderful!" cried
Katey. "But who did it?" questioned
Dad. I don't know" answered Katey.
After the Christmas holidays, the
students went back to school. Rick _
saw Katey wearing new clothes. He
looked at her and smiled. She no-
ticed him looking at her so she
smiled back at him and mouthed
the words "Thankyou".

One night when Santa was with his
deet,

I could hear the reindeer hoof.

The toy that came alive
by Rachel Sheridan
McCurdy, Grade 3
Once in a village called M rryVill,
lived a little boy named Tim. Ile
lived in a orphanage with his friends
JCiirictic, Steven and Brenda. Each
Christmas they would only getxonc
thing for Christmas. -But Tim got
three. Now it was Christmas and all
the children were ex_ ;ally
Tim.
With out being told to go to bed
they ran up stars and plopped down
on the bed and were fast asleep. The
next morning all of the children
were up and out of bed in a flash.
They ran down stars and tverc un-
wrapping the presents in no time at
all. When they got to the last
present something unusual hap-
pened.
The present unwrapped itself. Out
of the box popped a little kitten. It
ran all over the ;orphanage like a
wild animal. Tim could not believe
his eyes.
The little kitten jumped right into
his arms. Tim named her Nancie.
And that is the story of the toy
that came alive.
