Spanish project
Hi I am writing a story right now for my spanish project, and I am not sure whether I have written my paragraphs properly. Could anyone help me to translate the paragraphs below to spanish? Thank you
Note: The requirement of this project is to use imperfect tense.
Once upon time in Nicaragua, a girl had been wishing to receive a gift from Santa Claus on Christmas. She looked for Santa Claus at the Fireplace and searched for the presents under the Christmas tree, however, she could not find any.
One day, her grandmother entered the room. She then asked Patricia, the girl," what are you doing'" Patricia replied " Why couldn't I find Santa claus and the present'"
Grandmother was amused and then she said " Come here, honey, Did you know that Santa Claus will only give out the presents to those children who behave well? If you behave well, then Santa will bring you Toys at night."
Before Patricia goes to bed, she prayed " I will promise to behave well at all time and I promise I will never ever argue with my parents. Santa Claus please bring me toys that I wanted for so long"

<<<Había una vez en Nicaragua una niña que había estado deseando recibir un regalo de Papá Noel en Navidad. Ella buscó a Papa Noel en la chimenea y buscó los regalos debajo del árbol de navidad, sin embargo,no pudo encontrar ninguno.
Un día su abuela entró en la habitación. Entonces ella le preguntó a Patricia, la niña, '¿qué estás haciendo'? Patricia respondió '¿por qué no puedo encontrar a Papa Noel y los regalos'?
La abuela estaba sorprendida y entonces dijo ? Ven aquí, cariño,¿sabías que Papá Noel sólo le entregará los regalos a aquellos niños que se comportan bien? Si te comportas bien, entonces Papá Noel te traerá Juguetes a la noche'.
Antes de que Patricia se fuera a la cama, rezó:'Prometo comportarme bien en todo momento y prometo que nunca jamás discutiré con mis padres. Papá Noel por favor traeme los juguetes que he añorado tanto tiempo? >>>
I hope it will help you?
' 'Papá Noel"is the way we call 'Santa Claus? here in Argentina and in some other spanish-speaking countries, but 'Santa Claus? is also used and acceptable.

Why don't you re-post your translation? Others reading this thread might enjoy it as I did. Apparently the author isn't going to post his attempt.
The usual options:
