It was Christmas Eve. When everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn’t fall asleep. He still couldn’t think of what he wanted as a special Christmas present. He wanted to know how Santa — Father Christmas would know what to bring him if he didn’t know himself.
As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof(屋顶) and a sound downstairs(楼下). It was Santa Claus, he thought. Bunny jumped out of bed and ran down the hall to the stairs. He hoped to take a look at the old man before Santa left for his next stop.

“Hello,” said Bunny. “Is somebody there?”
Another cry answered him. Bunny looked around the big pile of presents to see what made the noise. Right under the tree was a funny brown animal with big feet and sad eyes. It also had antlers(鹿角) on its head. Bunny almost mistook(误解) it for a dog.
“Are you a reindeer?” asked Bunny.
“Yes,” replied the brown animal with antlers. “My name is Ralph.”

“Isn’t it a bit unusual for a reindeer to get air-sick? I mean, reindeer are famous for flying.”

“Well, if you like, you can stay with us as a friend,” said Bunny. As he made the offer, Bunny suddenly found the special present he wanted from Santa was a new friend!
