ake up! Wake up Timmy. There are only four days until Christmas," said Fred.

"O.K., O.K. I will wake up just calm down," said Timmy.
"Have you got everybody's Christmas gifts yet?" Fred whispered.
"Everybody's except yours," answered Timmy.
"What is it Timmy?" asked Fred.
"I'm not telling you, besides why would I tell you?" said Timmy.
"Well I thought since I'm your brother you would tell me," pouted Fred.
"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you," Timmy said.
"Oh yea," said Fred.

Timmy didn't want to tell Fred because it was a remote control truck and that's what Fred had always wanted.
"So what are you getting Mom and Dad?" asked Fred.
"Same answer," said Timmy,
"I'm not telling you."
Timmy asked Fred what he was getting everybody.
"Nothing," said Fred.
"What!" said Timmy, "Christmas is when you give people presents."
"I guess I will give some people presents," said Fred.
"Like who?" Timmy asked.
"Mom, Dad and you," said Fred.

The days passed by fast. It was finally Christmas. The two boys woke up and ran to the stockings. They dug in deep and found lots of things. Then they opened presents. Fred opened his present and it was a remote control truck.
"Yes!" yelled Fred.
Then Timmy opened his present. It was a remote control car!

After they were done opening presents the boys went outside to have a race with the car and truck. Timmy's car won.
"I'm glad you didn't tell me my present," said Fred.
"Me too," said Fred.
