1. Zigfried, a little mouse, blew his breath on the frosty window of the farmhouse and rubbed it to see the outside. Still nobody came. Maybe today, he thought
. It was only a few days before Christmas and he was watching for a miracle (奇迹).
This farmhouse had been
____too long. It needed a family. Zigfried’s
made a noise. He realized that he hadn’t eaten anything since yesterday. He jumped from the windowsill (窗沿), took a
from his home, and went next door to Farmer Mike’s.
Farmer Mike’s house had been a great place for the little mouse
the farmer married a wife who had a cat. Zigfried trembled

into the room where grain was stored and was quite
as he filled his bag with wheat. He was turning to leave when suddenly he

, and without thinking, he started to run and luckily
the cat’s paws (爪子).
The next afternoon Zigfried heard some good news: a
family would be moving into the farmhouse soon. Zigfried’s granny would arrive on Christmas Eve to
with him. He hoped that the family would come before his granny came. Before long, a car came
the road leading to the house, with butter sandwiches, cheese and chocolate.
Zigfried’s Christmas miracle did arrive!
The house came
the next few days. Zigfried
every single hour of them.
, the day before Christmas when he was drinking hot chocolate with a
smile at the door of his home, he heard the
of the children of the family about what they might get for Christmas. What? A cat? The
froze on his face; his mouth fell wide open. After a long while, he at last found his voice: “Hey! Whose Christmas miracle is this?”
