Christmas Eve

Story by Fraser Milne

It was Christmas Eve, and Yousef was walking down his town’s main street with his family. Yousef’s family did not give presents to each other on Christmas, but he was still cheery.

2

His family was heading to the Chinese restaurant for dinner, and they were checking out the street decorations on the way.

3

Yousef stopped at the window of the chemist to look at a poster of Santa stuck in a chimney.

4

Yousef was standing at the window for a long time, and when he turned around, his family were gone.

5

There were crowds of people around.

The gym was having a party, and there was a chorus group standing outside the church singing hymns.

6

Suddenly he felt a tap on his shoulder.

He turned around to see his dad.

7

“There you are! We had better hurry, we do not want to upset the chef,” his dad laughed as he picked him up in his arms.

8

Comprehension Questions: 1. Where was Yousef going for dinner?

2. What was in the window of the chemist?

3. Where was the party?

4. How did Yousef feel when he saw his dad again?

Each series has been written with a slightly different progression to offer reading opportunities at more stages.
