Bertie was a very good boy.He had,however,one great 1 -he always forgot.
No matter how important the errand (差事),his answer 2 was,"I forgot."
His father and mother talked the 3 over,and decided that something must be done to make the little boy remember.
Christmas was near,and Bertie was busy making out a 4 of things which Santa Claus was to bring him.
"Santa Claus may 5 some of those things," said his mother.
"He cannot," replied Bertie,"for I shall write sled,and skates,and drum,and violin,and all the 6 on this paper."
Christmas 7 came,and Bertie was up at dawn to see what was in his stocking.His mother 8 from him as long as he could,for she knew what Santa Claus had done.
Finally she heard him coming with 9 steps to her room.He held in his hand a list very much 10 than the one he had made out.He put it in his mother's hand,while tears of 11 fell from his eyes.
"See what Santa Claus 12 for me,but I think he might have given me one thing 13 ."
His mother opened the roll.It was a list of all the errands Bertie had been 14 to do for six months.At the end of all was written,in staring capitals,"I FORGOT."
Bertie 15 for an hour.Then his mother told him they were all going to grandpa's.It was very 16 to Bertie,but on grandpa's tree he 17 everything he had written on his list.
Was he 18 of his bad habit?Not all 19 ;but when his mother saw that he was particularly 20 he would say,"Remember,Santa Claus does not forget."
