                          woke up with a                             .  Today was his birthday, and all he had asked for was a new                                 .  He was certain that he would get it. He pulled on his                     ,                    and a shirt and skipped down the steps to the breakfast table.      His big                             and his mom were there to wish him a happy birthday, and both gave him a big kiss on the cheek.  “Is that all?” asked                            .  “Here you go,” replied his                             , as she handed him some                             and some juice.   “Thanks,”                             sulked.  He thought he saw his                             and mom                                                         , but he was feeling sad, too sad to think about anything except the                             he didn’t get.

     After breakfast,                           did all his chores.  First, he picked up the                          he had left on the floor.  After the                             were put away, he began to feed his two cats,                             and                             , who were waiting for him on the                             . As he got their food ready,                             and                             began to scratch the window.                              walked over to the                             to see what they were doing.  “What is it?”                            asked the cats.      As he stood by the                             , he could see his mom and                              standing on the grass.  He couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw that his                               was holding a brand new                              , just like the one he wanted!  They began to                              when they saw him by the                             and motioned for                             to come join them.
