LESSON 3 WILLIE'S LETTER

音频正文13秒开始

1. Dear Santa Claus:

2. Papa is going to give me a Christmas tree, and he says that you will put nice things on it if I ask you. I would like a gun that will shoot, and a rubber ball that I can throw hard, and that will not break Mamma's windows or the big glass in the parlor.

3. Now, please don't forget to come. I live on Fourth St.,number ten.

4. I will go to bed at eight o'clock, and shut my eyes tight.

5. I will not look indeed I won't.

6. Your little boy
