My Birthday Surprise!
Last Friday was my birthday. From midnight, I was waiting for the wishes of my best friends Pushpo, Subha, Tanha and Mritika. But nobody called or wished me. With a heavy heart, I went to bed. I felt so bad that my eyes filled with tears. The next morning, I got a message from Pushpo, âPlease stop at my house on the way to school. I will go with you.â This message made it clear that everyone forgot my birthday. However, after getting ready, I left for school. When I entered Pushpoâs house, I saw all my friends. They hugged and wished me by saying âHappy Birthday!!â. I cut my birthday cake and had a lot of fun. I was really touched. This great moment turned my birthday into a special day.

One of your recent stories/experiences:
I am Meena. Last year I was in class six. It was the night before my annual exam results. I was very worried. I couldnât sleep all night wondering what the result would be. I was just praying at night to get good results in the exam. The next morning I went to school scared. As everyoneâs results were being announced in the school hall, I was filled with dread. Suddenly my name was announced on the mic and they told that I had secured the highest marks in the annual exam and obtain first place. Hearing this I lost myself for a while. I started to feel quite thrilled by the applause from my classmates and teachers. This day is one of the most memorable days of my life. Iâll never forget this day.
