Chapter 1. Christmas Eve A soft fluffy layer of snow covered Clara's house on Christmas Eve.

第一章 平安夜 平安夜那天，一层柔软蓬松的白雪盖住了克拉拉的家。

Inside, a party was in full swing, but one very special guest hadn't arrived. Clara watched for him at the window. Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door. He is here! She cried, dancing over and slinging open the door.

屋里的派对正开得热热闹闹，可一位特别重要的客人还没到。 克拉拉趴在窗边等他来。 忽然，传来了重重的敲门声。 “他来啦！”她喊着，蹦蹦跳跳跑过去一把拉开了门。

It was Clara's godfather. She gave him a big hug. What a warm welcome on such a chilly night! He said with a chuckle, Merry Christmas! Clara loved her godfather's visit. Something magical always happened when he was around. I have a very special present for you this year! He told Clara as he placed a package under the tree. Merry Christmas!

来的是克拉拉的教父，她给了他一个大大的拥抱。 这么冷的夜晚，这份欢迎可太暖啦！ 他笑着说：“圣诞快乐！” 克拉拉可喜欢教父来家里了，他在的时候总会发生神奇的事。 “今年我给你准备了一份超特别的礼物哦！” 他一边把一个包裹放到圣诞树下，一边对克拉拉说。 “圣诞快乐！”

Chapter 2. The Mystery Present That night Clara couldn't sleep. She lay in bed thinking about her present. It can't hurt if I just have a little pig. She thought. Finally Clara tiptoed downstairs. She soon found the present, tied up with a big red bow. On the ribbon there was a tag with a message. Merry Christmas Clara. I hope this protect you with love from your Godfather X. I wondered what Godfather means thought Clara.

第二章 神秘礼物 那天晚上克拉拉睡不着，她躺在床上，满脑子都是那份礼物。 “我就偷偷看一眼，不会有事的。”她想。 最后克拉拉踮着脚溜到楼下，很快就找到了那份系着大红蝴蝶结的礼物。 丝带上挂着一个标签，上面写着字。 “圣诞快乐，克拉拉。希望这份礼物能替我守护你，爱你的教父留。” 教父说这话是什么意思呀？克拉拉心里想。

Slowly, Clara untied the bow and folded back a corner of the paper. Inside, she found a wooden nutcracker door, dressed like a soldier. Just then, the clock struck midnight. Clara gave an enormous yarn. In a few minutes, she was fast asleep under the tree.

克拉拉慢慢解开蝴蝶结，把包装纸掀开了一个角。 她看见里面放着一扇胡桃夹子造型的木门，打扮得像个士兵。 就在这时，钟敲响了午夜十二点，克拉拉打了个大大的哈欠。 没一会儿，她就在圣诞树下睡熟了。
