A Birthday Nobody Planned

My friend Sarah was very sad today. She forgot her own birthday completely. She did not buy a cake or invite anyone.

I saw her at the coffee shop in the morning. She looked tired and alone. I decided to help her feel better.

I called three of our friends quickly. They were all free to come over. We bought some flowers and a small gift.

We went to Sarahs house in the evening. Her door was open, so we walked inside. We shouted "Surprise!" together.

Sarah was very happy and surprised. She cried a little bit with joy. It was a wonderful day for all of us.
