Christmas Day is coming up. In the morning Molly's mother takes her to a store in a car. She says to Molly, "Father Christmas always helps people but he never lets them know that. I will give you twenty dollars. Take the money and buy some things for others. After that, see me in the car."
Molly thinks of lots of people she knows: her family, her teachers and her classmates. She thinks of Bill. Bill sits next to her in the classroom. His home is far from school. It's about eight kilometers from his home to school. This boy doesn't have money to take the bus. He doesn't have a bike, either. Every day it takes Bill a long time to walk to school. His shoes are always old and dirty (脏的). Molly sees holes (洞) in them. Molly buys a pair of shoes for Bill with the money.
In the evening, Molly rides her bike to the post office (邮局) and sends the shoes to Bill. She also writes a note. It says: "To Bill. From Father Christmas."
