The last few days before Christmas passed quickly and it was soon Christmas Eve. That night when everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn't sleep. He still couldn't think of what he wanted his special Christmas gift to be. He wondered how Santa Claus would know what to bring him if he didn't know himself.
As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof and a sound downstairs. It was Santa Claus, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and raced down the hall to the stairs hoping to have a look at the old man with his own eyes.
By the time Bunny reached the bottom of the stairs, though, everything was again silent .Beautiful gifts were piled(堆积) under the Christmas tree, but Santa Claus was gone. He looked for him for a few minutes, but it was already too late. Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry.
“Hello,” said Bunny. “Is somebody there?”
He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of gifts to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and sad eyes. Bunny might have mistaken it for a dog, if it hadn’t been for the antlers(鹿角) on its head.
"Are you a reindeer?" asked Bunny.
"Yes," replied the animal, “my name is Ralph."
"And you were pulling Santa’s sled(雪橇)?"
"I was until I got air-sick," replied Ralph," I'm afraid I wasn't cut out for the job. Now I'm stuck here and I don't know how to get back to the North Pole."
"Well, if you like, you can stay with us as a friend," said Bunny. As he made the offer, Bunny suddenly realized the gift he wanted from Santa Claus was a new friend! Why couldn't Bunny fall asleep on Christmas Eve?

People use money to buy food, books and hundreds of other things they need. When they work, they usually get paid in money.

In China, cloth and knives were used as money. Elephant tusks (象牙), monkey tails and salt were used in some pans of Africa (非洲). Rice was also a kind of money used by the ancient people in some islands.
