As we ate, Santa Clause came walking out onto the  39 . The kids cheered with  40 . Everyone began clapping their hands and yelling as   41 as they could.
I too was excited   42  but I knew better than to yell（叫喊）out loud or to jump up and scream. Mrs. Winters, the head matron, sat only three seats from me. She had   43  it very clear to everyone that we were tobehaveourselves in "a proper manner" and that there was to be "no yelling or shouting".
One orphan   44 was led up onto the stage and each kid was handed a   45  by Santa Claus himself.
As the line became shorter and shorter my   46  finally came. He smiled at me. Then he reached over and handed me a   47  box which had two gold ribbons(絲帶) on it. As I leaned(向前傾) to take the box I tripped and I   48 to my knees. Santa reached over and helped me to my feet.
"Move  49  Kiser." called out Mrs. Winters.
I was now leaning against Santa Claus' leg and I was looking   50  into his eyes. His face was less than an inch from mine.
"Can I   51  you Santa?" I asked him.

I sat down in my chair just crying. Once in a while I would  53  at the stage to see if my gift was still sitting by Santa Claus.
