2--I can't sleep...

1--But it's almost midnight!

2--Exactly. I'm too excited for Christmas morning. Also, I thought I heard Santa.

1--Really? How do you know it was Santa?

2--Well, I heard that naughty boys and girls get coal in their stockings, so I thought I'd be nice and make Santa cookies. I even left out some milk. I heard someone in the kitchen eating the cookies, so I came downstairs!

1--Hmm... well I know that Santa won't come down the chimney with you hiding behind the tree, spying on him!

2--Really?

1--Really! Let's go back upstairs and get back to bed. That way, we can let Santa do his job. Then when you wake up, it will be Christmas already!

2--O-K...

1--Hey, honey! Is that you? Don't eat all the cookies—I want some, too!

1--你在做什么呢，醒着吗？

2--我睡不着……

1--但是现在已经是午夜了！

2--确实是。我想到就快要到圣诞的早晨了，我就很兴奋。还有，我以为我听到了圣诞老人来了。

1--真的吗？你怎么知道是圣诞老人的？

2--嗯，我听说那些调皮的孩子们在他们的袜子里有很多煤炭。所以我想如果给圣诞老人准备一些曲奇会比较好。我甚至还留了一些牛奶。我听到有人在厨房吃饼干，所以我刚刚下楼看了看！

1--嗯……我知道圣诞老师不会在你躲在树后面想要偷看的时候从烟囱里下来。

2--真的吗？

1--真的！我们上楼去回到床上睡觉吧。这样的话，圣诞老人才能做他的事。然后等你醒来的时候，就已经是圣诞节了。

2--好吧……

1--嘿，宝贝！是你吗？不要把曲奇都吃了，我也想吃点！
