Samuel's Birthday<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

On Saturdy morning, Samuel 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.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

Samuel and John drove to the mall after lunch. Samuel still remembered his mom urged him, "Samuel, 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 him whether he want to see a movie, he said yes. Then they went for a movie. After they went out from movie theater, they walked around in the shopping mall. They visited lots of shops, this or that, they don't attract Samuel. When they passed Toyrus, Samuel stopped and started walking again, he remembered his mother's urge. Then they walked by a pet store, Samuel looked at it, but remembered his mom's talk again. He stopped at the windows, played with the pets in the cage when John was still walking ahead. John stopped and turned around, then he walked towards Samuel. He asked Samuel whether he wanted a pet. Samuel said no. Samuel and John walked and walked, Samuel did not find anything he is interested, rather he was tired. John did not want him empty handed, "what about a CD?" he asked. Samuel had to say yes by now. Then they found a CD Samuel liked.<o:p></o:p>

After they went home, Samuel told everyone what he has got, pretending he was happy. Anyway, "I have everything already," Samuel thought. After dinner, Samuel went upstairs to his room when John and mom and dad and sisters were still talking. Samuel went on internet, plugged CD into the computer. "These are good songs," Samuel listened after the musis started. He chatted all night long on the internet chatting room with young people of his age. He was very very happy for the whole night and listened to the new CD he has got today. Around mid-night when he was tired and wanted to go to bed, he looked around his room, this or that, birthday gifts since his birth filled his space. He is satisfied, and he then slept. He liked his CD ever since. It is the first time he has got a music CD as his birthday present.<o:p></o:p>
