Christmas is coming.Erika Orlando begins writing a Christmas __36__.Outside the house __37__ is falling.Soft flakes (Ñ©»¨) cover the world.Her __38__ goes back to a summer day and a beach as bright as snow.

On a family __39__ in Santa Rosa£¬Florida£¬Erika and her brother were sitting on the __40__ white sand£¬enjoying the sunshine.Children were __41__ on the beach.Just then£¬they heard a woman __42__£¬“Rob is missing£¡”The woman’s husband __43__ toward the ocean to __44__ his son.Erika asked the father to __45__ her what the child looked like.He said£¬“He has __46__ hair£»he’s wearing a bright orange shirt.He’s afraid of water.”

Erika’s mind was already working __47__.Orange shirt£¬afraid of water.Immediately she had an image (ÐÎÏó) of a __48__ in the sand.It was just a few feet away from where the boy’s mother __49__.

Erika went over at once, __50__ on her knees (Ï¥¸Ç) and started digging.A foot down£¬her fingers touched something different£¬__51__and fine£¬his dark hair.She called out£¬“I think I have found him£¡”

__52__he’d fallen into the hole other kids had dug£¬and the __53__ fell in£¬completely covering him.The crowd dug out enough __54__ so that Rob’s father was able to lift him out.

Snow __55__ to fall outside.She looks down at the Christmas card and begins to write£¬“Dear Rob.”
