It is a happy day today. We are going to a party. It is Ted's birthday today. Ted is Mrs Paw's son. He is one year old today.

We take our present and go to the white house. Mrs Paw opens the door and we go in. Ted comes to us. He is a small grey kitten. He has got kind big green eyes and a short tail. We give him the present and sing "Happy birthday to you!" for him. Ted opens his present. It is a toy fish.

Then we have lunch. There is a lot of food. There are French fries and cheese, sandwiches and biscuits, fruit and ice cream.

"I like French fries," says Blackie. "I hope you don't like French fries?" he asks Ted.

Ted looks at Blackie. He thinks and thinks, then he says: "No, I don't. I like cheese and biscuits. You can eat the French fries. And I can eat some cheese and biscuits."

I am listening to them and I am very angry.

"I like French fries," I say suddenly.

"No, you don't like them," cries Blackie. He is angry. "I know. You like sandwiches and biscuits. You can eat them."

"No," I say, "today I like French fries."

I take a lot of French fries and say: "Ted, we can eat French fries together."

Ted is happy because he likes French fries. Blackie is angry because he likes French fries, too.

After lunch we play and watch TV. Now everyone is happy. Ted's birthday is great.
