    When I woke up in the morning last year on the day of my birthday, I saw a note. I opened it. It was from my mummy.

    It said that she and Dad had to go out on business and my brother had gone for a birthday party. She had left two hundred dollars for me to buy presents for myself and another hundred dollars for me to eat outside and have fun with. When I had read the note, I was very sad. It was my birthday, but I had to spend it all by myself.

    I ate my breakfast, and then put on my blue clothes and went out. I passed a park and saw children playing with their parents. I passed a Mc Donald's and a child was having a birthday party. I was really sad. Every child was having a happy time or celebrating a happy birthday with his parents. Why did I have to be all alone? Sadly I went back home.

    When I opened my door, I was really surprised! All my friends were there: my parents, my brother. A big party was waiting for me!
