武汉二中广雅中学九年级英语模拟题二

all, but that wasn't the case.

As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, which supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those boxes. I made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. Frank Townsend, Dad's postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.

At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. “What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas？”he asked. “The letters？”

“I guess you never knew.” “Knew what？”

“Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa boxes on Main Street? It was your dad who answered all those letters every year.”

I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasn't hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old oak table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. I have since spoken with several of the people who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families. For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.
