The koala Appearance: Size: 70—90cm Weight: 5—14kg The koala with thick hair looks cute but it has very sharp teeth and claws (爪子). The male koala is larger than the female one.

It was Christmas Eve. When everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn’t fall asleep. He still couldn’t think of what he wanted as a special Christmas present. He wondered how Santa — Father Christmas would know what to bring him if he didn’t know himself.
As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof and a sound downstairs. It was Santa Claus, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and ran down the hall to the stairs. He hoped to take a look at the old man before Santa left for his next stop.
By the time Bunny was at the bottom of the stairs, everything was silent again. Lots of presents were put under the Christmas tree, but Santa was gone. A little disappointed(失望的), Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry.

I’m afraid I just wasn’t cut out for the job. Now I’m trapped here and I don’t know how to get back to the North Pole.”
