Who Am I?


I am a famous figure. I have white hair and a long white beard. I always wear a red suit. Adults and children like me. Every year I take a long trip on a special night. I travel in a magic sleigh. The sleigh doesn't have wings or an engine. It is pulled through the night sky by eight reindeer. I fly all over the world an visit houses where children live. I know if the children have been good or bad during the year. I bring candy and toys to the good children and pieces of coal to the bad children. I am Santa Claus.

Mickey Mouse Exercise on page 12

My name is Mickey Mouse. I live in a place called Disneyland. My father's name is Walt Disney. He was a famous cartoonist. A cartoonist is a person who draws cartoon characters like me. I was born about seventy years ago in a movie studio in Hollywood, California. I first appeared in a cartoon in 1928. The name of the cartoon was "Steamboat Willie." At first I appeared in cartoons with Minnie Mouse. Soon my friends Donald Duck and Goofy joined me. In addition to starring in cartoons, I also work at Disneyland. There I stand around and smile a lot. I also pose for pictures with visitors. I enjoy my job a lot because I make children all over the world happy.
