It's Sunday afternoon. It's my son's eighth birthday today. I go into a 1 shop to buy a big birthday cake for him.
There2 a lot of people in the shop. When I am 3 a cake, I find a little boy watching the cakes for a long time. He is 4 old clothes. At last he chooses a cake. Then he gives money to the girl shopkeeper and says to 5, "I want the 6 cake."
"Sorry, the cake is 15 yuan, but you only have 7 yuan," says the shopkeeper.
"I…I have no more money, "says the little boy and he begins to 8.
"Oh, my boy. Who would you like to 9 the birthday cake for?" I ask.
"My 10, madam."
"11doesn't she come and buy one?"
"My father left us three years ago, "the boy says." We don't have much 12. My mother has to 13 from morning to night every day. She celebrates my birthday every year, but she 14 celebrates hers. It's her birthday tomorrow. I want to buy a small cake for her. But I don't have enough money..."
"Oh, my boy! I'm your 15 friend and I work with her," I say. "I will buy her a nice birthday cake." I give the money to the shopkeeper and leave the shop.
