Once an Englishman was in Italy.He could speak little Italian.One day while he was walking in the street,he felt hungry and went into a restaurant.When the waiter came,the Englishman opened his mouth,put his fingers into it and took them out again and moved his lips.In this way,he meant to say,"bring me something to eat,"but the waiter brought him a lot of things to drink.First tea,then coffee,then milk,but no food.The Englishman was sorry that he was not able to tell the waiter he was hungry.He was ready to lwave the restaurant when another man came in and put his hands on his stomach.And this sign was good enough for the waiter.In a few minutes,the waiter brought him a large plate of bread and meat.At last the English man had his meal in the same way.
On Christmas Eve-the night before Christmas Day-chirldren all over Britain put a stocking at the end of their beds before they go to sleep.Their parents usually tell them that Father Christmas will come during the night.
Father Christmas is very kind and hearted.He gets to the top of each house and climbs down the shimney into the fireplace.He fills each of the stockings with Christmas present.Of course,Father Christmas isn't real.In Jim and Kate's house,"Father Christmas"is really Mr.Green. Mr.Green doesn't climb down the chimney.He waits until the children are asleep.Then he quietly goes into their bedrooms and fills their stockings with small presents.When they were very young,Mr.Green sometimes wore a red coat,But he doesn't do that now.The chirldren are no longer young and they know who"Father Christmas"really is.But they still put their stockings at the end of their beds.
