This morning I awoke early. It was the day of my birthday party. I went down stairs and was glad to see that grandmother and grandfather had arrived with a present for me. It was not easy waiting for people to arrive, but after dinner, I spread a cloth over our biggest table and mum set out my cake on a beautiful glass plate. Dad cleared the floor and rolled up the rug so that we could dance later on. Just before the guests arrived, grandfather drew the picture for our game, “Pin the Tail on the Donkey�, and my party was ready to begin.
