Saturday was going to be a special day for Sara. It was her birthday. No one had mentioned her birthday so far, and it was already Wednesday. “ ”, Sara thought to herself.
Sara went to school and told her friend, Jenny, that Saturday was her birthday.
“I know,” said Jenny. “Lynn told all the girls about your birthday.”
“Wow, I didn’t realize everyone knew,” said Sara. Saturday finally came and Sara got up early.
“Good morning, Sara,” said Mum.
“Hi,” said Sara. She looked around, but didn’t see anyone making a fuss over her birthday.
“What are you doing today?” asked Mum.
“Just stay at home,” said Sara, feeling a bit sad. She didn’t want to tell Mum it was her birthday.
“Why don’t you come with me to the Recreation Centre?” asked Mum.
“What will I do there?” asked Sara.
Mum said they needed help with a community project.
That afternoon Sara and her mum went to the Recreation Centre. When they opened the door, people shouted, “SURPRISE!” Sara couldn’t believe it. There were friends from school and her family. She saw Uncle Rick, Aunt Claire, and many cousins along with Grandma Joan. The walls were decorated with colourful balloons. There was a big cake sitting on the table along with many presents. A small band played the songs Sara and her friends liked to dance to.
Sara was called to cut the first piece of her birthday cake. She felt so special. “This is the best birthday I’ve ever had!” said Sara. “Thank you to everyone.”
