Although youd hardly know because she is so sh

3、y you barely ever see her.The letter was an invitation from Mr Happy tohis Christmas party.害羞小姐一方面真心想去参加派对，一方面又太害羞了。她知道自己去参加派对会脸红，而知道自己会脸红，只会让她脸红得更厉害。一想到这点她就脸红。Part of Little Miss Shy really wanted to go to the party, but part of her was too shy.She knew that she would walk into the party and blush

4、and knowing that she was going pink would only make her turn even pinker.Just the thought of it made her blush!为了准备派对，快乐先生有许多事情要做。但是他得到了很多帮助。强壮先生奉命去找一棵大小合适的树。他找到了！Mr Happy had a great deal to do to get ready for the party.But he had lots of help.Mr Strong had been instructed to go out and find a goo

5、d sized tree.And he did!糊涂先生粘圣诞彩灯，给一串串纸花接上电。Mr Muddle glued the Christmas lights and plugged inthe paper chain.贪吃先生做了个蛋糕，但它不像圣诞树蛋糕，简直就是一根圣诞大木头。Mr Greedy made a cake, but it was not so much a Yule log as a Yule tree trunk!淘气小姐带来了圣诞幸运枝，她在礼堂里追着快乐先生到处跑，想要亲他。有了这些帮助，在圣诞节的前一天，食物都准备好了，各种装饰品也都该挂的挂，该摆的摆，一切就绪。

6、And Little Miss Naughty brought the mistletoe and chased Mr Happy all round the hall trying to kiss him.Despite all this help, everything was cooked and decorated and laid and hung the day before the party.快乐先生上床睡觉了，心里感到嗯，很高兴。可是害羞小姐没有睡觉。她睡不着。派对的事怎么办呢？不去她会感到遗憾。去了又会脸红。她去吗？能去吗？真是左右为难。Mr Happy went to b

7、ed feeling well, happy.But Little Miss Shy did not go to bed.She could not sleep.What should she do about the party?She would be sad if she didnt go. But she would blush if she did.Would she go? Could she go?What a dilemma!第二天早晨，她往窗外一看，简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。下雪了。下了很多雪。真的很多，很多很多！害羞小姐放心地叹了口气。派对肯定取消了。没有人能去礼堂。When

8、 she looked out of the window the next morning she could not believe her eyes.It had snowed.It had snowed a lot.More than a lot, it had snowed buckets!Little Miss Shy breathed a sigh of relief.The party would have to be cancelled. Nobody wouldbe able to get to the hall.快乐先生看见下雪，他的感觉可不是这样，他感到唉，他感到不高兴

9、。可怜的快乐先生。真是灾难啊！他要给每个人打电话，告诉他们派对取消了。他先打给了圣诞先生。不料圣诞先生却有个主意。他打了个电话，然后给快乐先生回电。“一切都搞定了。我去把圣诞老人的雪橇借来，让大家坐雪橇来参加派对！”When Mr Happy saw the snow he did not feelthe same, he felt well, he felt unhappy.Poor Mr Happy. What a disaster!He was going to have to ring everyone and tellthem the party was off.He rang Mr

12、iss Shy.“I cant go in,” sighed Little Miss Shy when they reached the hall. “Please take me home.”“But why?” exclaimed Mr Christmas. “Youll have fun and everyone wants to see you.”“But when I go in Ill blush with embarrassment,” explained Little Miss Shy.“I think you will find,” said Mr Christmas, “t
