The Christmas Pig

The Christmas Pig We live on a farm. We have lots of animals. My favourite animal is Walter. He is a pig. This Christmas, Dad built a manger for my school's Christmas play. A manger is a big box that holds food for cows. Jesus slept in a manger when he was just born. One day, my friends came over to practise singing Christmas songs. Afterwards, we decided to go for a sleigh ride. We went out to the barn to get the sleigh.

圣诞猪 我们住在农场。我们有很多动物。我最喜欢的沃尔特是动物。他是一头猪。 今年圣诞节，爸爸为我们学校的圣诞剧建了一个马槽。马槽是一个为奶牛装食物的大盒子。耶稣刚出生时就睡在马槽里。 一天，我的朋友们过来练习唱圣诞歌。之后，我们决定去坐雪橇。我们到谷仓去把雪橇拿来。

Dad opened the big barn door. He turned on the lights. There, nestled in the manger full of hay, was a very sleepy Walter. He raised his head. He could barely open his eyes. We all laughed so hard that we nearly fell over. Walter went right back to sleep. It made us laugh even harder. Since then, he has been known as Walter, the Christmas Pig.

爸爸打开大谷仓的门。他打开灯。在那里,偎依在装满干草的马槽里的是昏昏欲睡的沃尔特。 他抬起头来。他几乎睁不开眼睛。我们都笑得差点摔倒。 沃尔特马上又睡着了。这使我们笑得更厉害了。 从那时起，他就被称为沃尔特，圣诞老人猪。
