Harry’s Birthday

4.4

Yesterday it was the twenty-sixth of October. It was Harry’s birthday. Early in the morning Mummy and Daddy came into his room and said, “Many happy returns of the day! There are three little presents for you in the living-room.”

So Harry got up quickly and ran to the living-room. He opened the door of the living-room and he saw the presents on the table. Mummy gave him a book. Daddy gave him a new toy-car. His sister gave him a box of sweets.

In the afternoon there was a birthday party. At three o’clock Harry’s friends came. They brought him a lot of presents: books, toys, sweets, and many other things. Harry thanked them all.

Then he showed them his presents. After that they played games in Harry’s room. At half past four Harry’s mother asked them to come to the living-room. There, on the table they saw a big birthday cake with nine candles’ in it — Harry was nine that day.

His friends sang him a birthday song:

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday, dear Harry!

Happy birthday to you!

Mother gave the children tea, cakes, sweets, fruit and a lot of other tasty things.

In the evening Granny and Grandpa came. They brought him a present, too. Do you know what they brought him? A nice little funny puppy! How happy Harry was to get that present!
