圣诞节的英文故事1
In the early 19th century, a 14-year-old boy named John lived in an orphanage in England. At that time, the life of the orphanage was terrible, and the orphans meant that no one liked or loved. The director of the orphanage had little love for the children, and there was no game for children, no sympathy, no understanding.
The children had to work all year round. They got up and worked every day until it was dark. During the year, only Christmas day children do not have to work, and can receive gifts -- only oranges. When John came to the orphanage, he looked forward to Christmas every year, and this orange.
Oranges are a rarity in England, both for John and for his companions. Every time they get an orange, the children keep their precious oranges for days, weeks, even months -- guarding, smelling, feeling and appreciating the orange. Usually they keep it for a long time, but when they peel it off, they find it rotten.
Every time when Christmas comes, children will have a lot of ideas, and they will boast, "I will save my orange for the longest time." John liked to put his orange on the pillow when he went to bed. He put the orange on his nose to smell it, and didn't dare to rub it in his hand. An orange can give him a sense of security and a sense of abundance, so that he can temporarily leave his present poverty and produce a yearning for a better life.
John was particularly happy at Christmas this year because he was going to be an adult. He knew he was going to get stronger, and he could leave the orphanage soon. He was happy to imagine his future, and he wanted to save the orange for his birthday next year. If he kept it well, he might be able to eat it on his birthday.
When Christmas finally came, the children were so excited that they ran to the restaurant. John smelled a different aroma than usual, and he ran quickly because he was too excited, and the shoes didn't fit, and he fell to the ground, which caused a great deal of confusion. As soon as John got up from the ground, he heard the dean roar, "John, there's no oranges for you this year!" John burst into tears, and he ran quickly back to the cold dormitory, hiding in the corner of the bed, so that the other children could not see his pain.
After a while, the door opened and his fellows came back. Elizabeth went up to him with tears in his eyes, and handed John a cloth bag.
"Take it, John." She said, "this is for you."
John reached for the corner of the bag and saw that it was a big orange, but there were several cuts on the orange peel. He understood that it was the men who cut a flap from their oranges and spelled the big, beautiful orange, and John was so moved.
John will never forget the love that his friends gave him that year. His childhood was spent in a cold environment, but in the year he grew up, he gained friendship and love.
Then John had his own business, but he never forgot the oranges, every Christmas comes, he will buy a lot of oranges to the orphanage children, because he never forgot his dream, to let all the children can enjoy the fragrance of oranges at Christmas.
