Samual's Birthday
On Saturdy morning, Samual woke up. He realized it is going to be his birthday tomorrow. He dressed up. Today, as he remembers, his brother John will bring him to the shopping mall. He will get him a birthday present.
Samual and John drove to the mall after lunch. Samual still remembered his mom urged him, "Samual, don't get a toy." He doesn't know what John will get for him. He cautiously asked him while John is driving. John just said, "don't worry, you will get what you really want." They got to the mall and parked. John first asked Samual whether he want to see a movie, he said yes. Then they went for a movie. After they went out from movie, they walked around in the shopping mall. They visited lots of shops, this or that, they don't attract Samuel. They walked by a pet store, Samual looked at it, but remembered his mom's talk. He stopped at the windows, played with the pets in the cage when John walked ahead. John stopped and turned around, then walked towards Samual. He asked Samual whether he wants a pet. He said no. They walked and walked, Samual did not find anything that interests him, rather he is bored. John does not want them empty handed, "what about a CD?" he asked. Samual has to say yes by now. Then they got a CD Samual liked.
After they went home, Samual told everyone what he has got, pretending he is happy. Anyway, "I have everything already," Samual thought. After dinner, Samual went upstairs to his room when John and mom and dad and sisters were still talking. Samual went on internet, plugged CD into the computer. "They are good songs," Samual listened after the musis started. He chatted all night on the internet chatting room with young people of his age. He is very very happy today at the night when he went to sleep. And, he looked around his room, this or that, birthday gifts since his birth filled his space. He is satisfied. He liked his CD ever since. It is the first time he has got a music CD as his birthday present.
