Today is Christmas Eve, and Tom is a black child living in the slums of Brooklyn, New York. His Christmas wish this year is to get a Nintendo console and games. But he knows that his mother, who works in the kitchen of a restaurant, and his mother who works in construction

The worker's father didn't have any extra money to buy him such a gift. But he secretly made a wish to Santa Claus. He hoped that he could get a Nintendo game console tomorrow like other children in primary schools in nearby communities.

After the family had turkey together, Tom's mother urged Tom and his somewhat unprofessional 18-year-old brother to go to bed.

"Another boring Christmas Eve, I should go to Martha's party!" Tom's brother reluctantly pulled Tom back to their house. There was an old-fashioned radio in the house for listening to radio programs - the brother said

, this was his birthday gift when he was 12 years old.

Tom turned on the radio and listened to his favorite bedtime story program. Today, the host did not tell the children's stories he had not finished telling, but was talking about what kind of things Santa Claus encounters around the world every year.

“One Christmas Eve, Santa Claus sat in his car pulled by an elk and flew outside the chimney of a poor man’s house because he heard the child’s wish: Santa Claus, I know I usually don’t do well enough, but I

I hope I can get a gift that can make the whole family happy when I get up tomorrow. After hearing this poor child’s wish, Santa Claus put his favorite gift into the socks on the child’s bedside…” The story continues

Before he finished speaking, he heard Tom's brother dissatisfied: "Tom, turn off that damn radio, we still have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

Tom turned off the radio and slowly closed his eyes. He thought to himself: "I also want to get a gift that will make the whole family happy tomorrow morning." After thinking about it, he actually fell asleep.

In the early morning, a ray of sunshine woke up the confused Tom. He looked at his sleeping brother, secretly got up and went under the Christmas tree in the living room. He found that there was a square package under his Christmas stocking.

He carefully opened the package and revealed a Nintendo on the upper right corner of the box. His heart beat faster and his hands moved faster and faster, tearing off the entire outer package. "Oh my God, this is a Nintendo game console!" Tom was shocked.

He shouted, then jumped up with joy. He felt that he was the happiest child at this moment.

He carried the game console to his brother's bed and woke him up. "Brother, look, the Christmas gift Santa Claus gave me last night!"

His brother opened his eyes and looked at his younger brother with a doting look on his face. "Yes, Tom, I think because you did well last year, Santa Claus always likes good children."

At this time, Tom's parents also woke up. Looking at Tom who was intoxicated with joy, they hugged each other tightly.

"Tom, please open it quickly and see what games are inside. Maybe we can play together." Tom's brother put on his pajamas and jumped out of bed.

Under the gaze of the family, Tom carefully opened the box of the game console, and then the gray game console sat quietly inside. Next to the game console, there was a dark gray cassette with English words on it: "

"Tank Brawl", there is a picture on the cassette of a bearded man emerging from the tank, pointing to the right front of him. There is a lot of artillery fire behind him, as if there is a war.

"Cool!" Tom couldn't wait to take the game console out of the box, and then connected it to the TV at home. He put the card into the card slot and inserted it gently: there was a click, which seemed to be the best thing he had heard since he was born.

sound.

When the BGM started playing, he handed his brother a handle and said, "Let's play."

"Let me read the manual first. This game has a challenge mode and a brawl mode. Let's try the brawl mode first," said my brother.

"Okay." Tom, as 1P, chose the brawl mode skillfully.

"Let me take a look at the manual... Hey, Tom, why have you opened it already?" Tom's brother quickly put down the manual and started operating the handle.

Half an hour later.

"Brother, you just cheated and won by eating that shield and attacking my hometown."

"Hahaha, Tom, this is a tactic. Do you understand the tactic?"

after an hour.

"Shall we play the challenge mode again?" Tom's brother had just been defeated by Tom in two games in a row, and he quickly wanted to change the mode.

Their parents poured themselves two cups of coffee and watched their children playing.

"Tom, Cruise, you're playing the wrong way!" his father, who had been watching them play games for a long time, suddenly said. This is the third time that Tom and his brother have failed to break through the level. They always face the surging tanks.

His hometown was invaded.

"Daddy, come and stand in for me for a moment. I need to go to the toilet and get something to eat." Brother Tom stood up and gave up his seat to his father.

Tom's dad sat down and started driving the tank seriously. "I've watched movies about tank battles..." Unexpectedly, when he turned the front of the car, Tom's dad actually blew up his hometown with a shell.

Already.

Tom:???

Tom said: "Dad, the B button is for firing cannonballs. You can't fire on your hometown."

Father Tom was a little embarrassed: "I just made a mistake. You will know if you do it again."

"Tom, you go to the hidden place in the woods, yes, it's the place with the steel plate. I'll ambush them underneath. Yes, that's it, good."

An hour and a half later.

Tom turned around and said to his mother: "Mommy, I need to go to the bathroom too, please take a moment for me."

"Me? I don't know how." Tom's mother waved her hand.

"Come on, come on." Father Tom urged from the side.

Tom's mother wiped her hands, then sat next to her father, and began her first electric shock journey.

"Tom, tell your brother that there is bread on the table and ask him to heat it up in the microwave for you. We will have bread and beef salad for lunch."

"Okay Mom~" Tom looked at his father and mother playing games together, he closed his eyes and said, "Thank you, Santa Claus, I got the best gift."

Tom dialed Jerry's home phone and said to Jerry: "You know Jerry, my Christmas gift is an NES game console and a very fun game."

Jerry said: "I also received a very cool game. Let's change the cards and play after we clear it?"

Tom said: "Of course, no problem, what's your game?"

"Tank Clash, our family is now taking turns to play this game, and I will be the next in line. What about you, Tom?"

Tom:o(╥﹏╥)o

Tom said: "I am also a tank brawler..."

Jerry said excitedly: "Then we can PK in brawl mode after school."

Tom said: "Well, that's settled."
