Mary, Tom and Mum want to give Dad a surprise birthday party. Today is his birthday. But Dad is very busy these days. He must forget his birthday. Mum makes a big birthday cake. She also invites Dad's friends. Mary makes a birthday card. Tom draws a nice picture. Then they begin to clean the house. Mary sweeps the floor. Tom cleans the windows and furniture. Mum cleans the kitchen. They blow up balloons and put a sign on the way saying, "Happy birthday!"

    All the guests arrive on time for the surprise party.

    When Dad walks in the house, everyone jumps up, "Surprise! Happy birthday!"

    "Wow!" says Dad. "This is really a surprise! My birthday is two months away!" Dad is surprised. Everyone else is surprised, too. But they have a great time together.
