It was Christmas Day．Tina was alone in the great city house．Her parents went to the hospital because their oldest boy was ill．
"What a boring Christmas!" Tina thought to herself． At that moment，she   music in the street． She ran to the window and saw a little boy  ．He was singing and beating a drum．Tina saw that he wore no ．
"Are you cold?" asked Tina．
The little boy smiled，but she couldn't hear    he said．So she told him to come in． He was a little nervous，but the carpet (地毯) felt warm to   poor feet．He told Tina that his name was Guido．And he was   poor that he had to go singing from house to house for some money to buy his dinner．
"My mama is away，and I am   a sad Christmas．But I'll try to make it nice  you，" said Tina．They played games and Guido sang to her．Then they had a big dinner． Guido was very happy．
That night，Tina told her mother， " Now I know something．Whenever you  sad and lonely，find somebody   and lonelier than yourself and cheer them up．It will make you feel all right． "
