Uncle John's Christmas

"Uncle John, Uncle John!" Little Betty, who was nearly six, came running into her uncle's bedroom. "Wake up, Uncle John, it's seven o'clock ant it's Christmas Eve." Uncle John woke up - he had to, for Bitty had climbed onto his bed, but he did not seem very happy to hear that it was seven o'clock. His sister, who had been married for several years and had two children, had invited him to spend a "family Christmas" with them in the country, for she always felt sorry for her brother who lived alone in a little flat in London. At that moment John longed for his flat - he never got up there before nine o'clock.

Betty did everything she could to help her uncle. She took him to the shops on Christmas Eve, and showed him the enormous doll she wanted for Christmas, and then took him down to the shop again at six o'clock - "They're still open," she told him -just to make certain that he had bought the doll. In the afternoon Betty and her younger sister Mary showed him how to decorate the Christmas tree with lots of beautiful little things they had bought or made themselves. John felt tired because he had to run up and down the ladder, and he was very happy when bedtime came. But Betty and Mary talked without stopping: "Father Christmas is coming tonight, Father Christmas is coming to night," they sang as they went up the stairs, and they each put the largest stocking they could find at the end of their bed. "I won't sleep at all night, I'm too excited," said Betty, and Uncle John could quite believe it as she jumped around in her bed.

At last all was quiet, the girls were asleep, and the presents were in the stockings and on the beds. John went to bed and fell asleep.

"Uncle John, Uncle John." It was little Betty again.

"What? It's not seven o'clock again, is it?"

"Oh no, it's three o'clock, and Father Christmas has been here already. Look."

John saw a large doll in her arms.

"Why on earth," he thought, "don't we give children presents in the afternoon?"

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Irelandis situated on the British Isles. The British Isles consist of two large islands. They are Great Britain and Ireland and about five thousand small islands. Their total area is over 244.000 square kilometres. The United Kingdom consists of four countries. They are England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland- Their capitals are London, Cardiff, Edinburgh, and Belfast respectively. The capital of the United Kingdom is London.

England is the southern and central part of Great Britain. Scotland is in the north of the island and Wales is in the west. Northern Ireland is situated in the northeastern part of Ireland.

The west coast of Great Britain is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea, the east coast is washed by the North Sea, and the south coast is washed by the English Channel. The English Channel lies between Great Britain and the continent.

The surface of the British Isles varies very much. The north of Scotland is mountainous and is called the Highlands. The south, which has beautiful valleys and plains, is called the Lowlands. The north and west of England are mountainous, but ail the rest - east, centre and south-east, is a vast plain. Mountains are an important part of the geography of the country. They are not very high. Ben Nevis in Scotland is the highest mountain. It is 1343 metres high, In England the Pennine Chain runs down from the north through the centre. In Wnlci there are the Cumbrian Mountains.

The British Isies have many rivers, but they are not very long. The Severn, which flows, into the .Irish Sea, is the longest river. The Thames is the deepest and the most important one. Scotland's most important river is the Clyde, on which stands Glasgow.

England, Ireland and Scotland have many beautiful lakes.

There are no great forests in the British Isles today. Historically, the most famous forest is Sherwood Forest, in the east of England. It was the home of Robin Hood.

The mountains, the Atlantic Ocean and the warm waters of Gulf Stream influence the climate of the British Isles greatly. It is generally mild the whole year round, not very cold in winter and never very hot in summer.

The United Kingdom is one of the world's smaller countries. Its population is over 57 million. About 80% of the population is urban. There are at least people of four nationalities in the United Kingdom. They are the English, the Scots, the Welsh and the Irish. Each of them has their own language.

The United Kingdom is a highly developed industrial country. It is known as one of the world's largest producers and exporters of machinery, electronics, textile, aircraft and navigation equipment. One of the chief industries of the country is shipbuilding. It is centred in London, Glasgow, Newcastle and in Belfast.

Sheep farming, cattle farming, and dairy farming are important branches of the British economy. Wheat is grown in the east of England, but oats and rye are the main grown crops. Vegetables are grown in all parts of England, especially in the south. The south of England is often called the "Garden of England". This is because there are many gardens and orchards there.

The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy. In law, the Head of State is the Queen. In practice, the Queen reigns, but does not rule. Power in the country belongs to Parliament with the Prime Minister at the head. The British Parliament consists of two chambers: the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The House of Commons is elected by the people. The members of the House of Lords are not elected.

There are three political parties in Great Britain. They are the Conservative, the Liberal and the Labour parties.
