Mary is having a birthday party. There will be a cake with candles. Some people will bring birthday presents. Let's look at birthdays in some different countries around the world.
Argentina(阿根廷): Ear pulling. If it is your birthday, they will pull your ear. They will pull your ear one time for each year of your age. If you are 13, they will pull your ear thirteen times.
Denmark(丹麦): Flag(旗). If it is your birthday in Denmark, a flag will fly outside a window of your home.
Philippines(菲律宾): Coloured lights. Some people put coloured lights outside their home if someone is having a birthday party.
Russia: Birthday pies. Many Russian children get a birthday pie, not a birthday cake.
