圣誕節(jié)的小羊（第2輯）

　　圣誕節(jié)來了，西蒙一直在為他的家人尋找過節(jié)的食物。他發(fā)現(xiàn)山坡上有一只小羊，他知道他們能有圣誕節(jié)大餐了。但他的孩子們非常喜歡這只小羊，不忍心吃了它。他們求父母把小羊當(dāng)作寵物，給他取了個(gè)名字叫“披肩“。不就他們的好心就得到了回報(bào)，披肩的毛越長(zhǎng)越長(zhǎng)，他們不得不給它剃剃毛，披肩的羊毛在集市上賣了一個(gè)好價(jià)錢，夠這一家人一冬天的開支了。這只逃過火鍋之災(zāi)的小羊告訴我們，善心與同情心是美好的品德，善良的人終會(huì)有回報(bào)的。這是非常適合圣誕節(jié)的故事。

　　Originally from France， Géraldine Elschner studied Germanic and Romance languages before beginning a career in children’s literature. In the years since， she has translated scores of books from French to German， and from German to French – a body of work totalling over 150 published books， including several of her own original stories. Ms. Elschner draws her inspiration from her very first critics， her three lovely children， and the beautiful town of Heidelberg where she and her family live.
