A Birthday Nobody Planned

Tom wakes up early on a Tuesday. He has no plans for today. He just wants to drink coffee and read a book.

His friend Sarah calls him at nine o'clock. She sounds very happy and excited. Tom does not know why she is so happy.

Sarah says, "Come to my house now." Tom asks, "Why? Is something wrong?" Sarah laughs and says, "No! It is a surprise!"

Tom goes to Sarah's house with his friend Ben. The door opens, and all their friends are inside. They hold a big red cake and sing a song.

Everyone shouts, "Happy Birthday, Tom!" Tom is very surprised. He did not know it was his birthday today. He smiles and thanks everyone for the nice day.
