That very day Paddy went to the woods, and gathered holly 1 and cut a little evergreen 2 tree and some cedar 3 branches and things like that. 当天，培迪就去了森林，他收集了冬青，砍了一颗小常青树和一些雪松树枝，还有其他类似的一些东西。
He hung them all around the walls of the dark cave and stood the little evergreen tree up in one corner. 他把树枝挂在了洞里的墙上，把小常青树竖在一个角落里。
After that he sang the songs that the children in the log house had sung, and he thought that this was Christmas. 之后他唱起了木屋里孩子们唱的歌曲，认为这就是圣诞节了。
For a little while Paddy was very happy. 培迪只快乐了一小会儿。
Then he began to feel that something was wrong; so he went to his father and his mother and his uncle and his aunt and waked them up. 接着他便感觉有什么事情不对劲了；于是他到爸爸、妈妈和叔权、阿姨那儿，把他们都叫醒了。
Uncle Bear was wrong, he said. "This isn't Christmas. 他说：熊叔叔说的不对。这不是圣诞节。
There is something more, because when boys and girls have it, it's pretty, and it's lots of fun, and it makes you feel good from the inside out. 还有更多的东西，当男孩和女孩们过圣诞节的时候，那是很漂亮的，还有许多有趣的事，并且让人由里到外感到高兴。
This is pretty, and it's fun; but it doesn't make me feel good from the inside out." 咱们这样也很漂亮，很有趣；但这并没有让我由内而外感到高兴。
This time it was Aunt Bear who said she would find out what Christmas is. 这次，熊阿姨说她要去探察一下圣诞节是什么。
Down the mountain she crept to the little log house, and listened and looked and sniffed 4. Then she came back to Paddy. 她顺着山坡偷偷地溜到了小木屋旁，她又是听又是看，还用鼻子仔细地嗅了嗅，接着回到了培迪那里。
Christmas, said Aunt Bear, "is getting presents. You get toys and good things to eat. 阿姨说：圣诞节呢，就是收收礼物。你收到了玩具和好吃的东西。
See, I brought you some presents on my back." 看，我给你带回来些礼物，在我背上。
