MICE
I think mice
Are rather nice.
Their tails are long,
Their faces small,
They haven’t any
Chins at all.
Their ears are pink,
Their teeth are white,
They run about
The house at night.
They nibble things
They shouldn’t touch
And no one seems
To like them much.
But I think mice
Are nice.

Lie the fishes fast asleep,
Under the arm and over the shoe,
Tap on the head, and out goes YOU!

Christmas Legends
There is a beautiful Christmas legend. Once upon a time there lived a family of reindeer in Lapland. All of them had black noses. But once a baby-deer was born. He had a shiny red nose. People and other deer laughed at him. His name was Rudolph. He was very sad and didn’t like his red nose.
Do you know why a fir tree is a symbol of Christmas? A long time ago people decorated their houses with a beautiful plant – mistletoe. Mistletoe is evergreen. It has red berries. Now people all over the world decorate their flats and houses with fir trees because they look like mistletoe. But there is an interesting mistletoe tradition in Britain. If a boy and a girl stand under the mistletoe, they have to kiss! Would you like to stand under the mistletoe?
A father has got three daughters. They are beautiful but they haven’t got money. Santa Claus is standing at their house. He is listening to the story. At night he climbs up the house and throws three bags of gold (золото). The three bags drop into the girls’ stockings (чулки). In the morning the girls wake up happy. And all the children now hang out their stockings on Christmas night.
