Happy Birthday Lemmy!

Transcript:

It was my birthday yesterday. I woke up early because I was so happy. I went for a walk in the park. I was jumping and dancing.

Suddenly I saw my friend Rob the Rabbit sitting under a tree. I said hi to him. He said hi to me. But he didn’t say ‘Happy birthday Lemmy!’He was in a hurry. He forgot my birthday, I thought.

I went on my way. I met my friend Hannah the Hedgehog. She said hi to me. I said hi to her. But she didn’t say ‘Happy birthday Lemmy!’ She was in a hurry. She forgot my birthday, I thought.

Then I met my best friend Turtle Tot. He was sitting on a bench and reading his comic book. I said hi to him. He said hi to me. But he didn’t say ‘Happy birthday Lemmy!’ He was in a hurry. He forgot my birthday, I thought.

I was very, very sad. I went back home. I opened the door and heard: ‘Happy birthday!’ There were all my friends: Rob the Rabbit, Hannah the Hedgehog and Turtle Tot. I was very, very happy. I got a big, big present- a lot of chocolate. I blew the candles on my birthday cake and made a wish. We ate the cake. We danced. We had a lot of fun.

It was the best birthday party ever. I have the best friends in the world.
