Transcript

 It was the fifth of February and was letter F's birthday. He was turning five. F was super excited about turning 5. He woke up early in the morning and his parents wished him and gave a big hug. His father gave him a gift.

As letter F excitedly unwrapped it, he saw that it was a book on friends.

“Thanks, can I start reading it?” letter F enquired.

Mummy added, “It’s time for breakfast, you may read it later.”

Just then, letter F’s elder sister walked towards his room with a bouquet of flowers and said, “Happy birthday!”

Accepting the flowers, he said, “Thanks. These have such lovely fragrance!”

For breakfast, he had his favourite, french fries and fruits.

“I love French fries! Can I have them for breakfast, lunch and dinner too?”

Everyone smiled.

After breakfast, father brought a big cardboard box and opening it said, “Let’s start decorating the living room for the party this evening.”

Father opened the box and there were colourful balloons, buntings, and other birthday decorations.

“This is so exciting! I love birthdays,” “said Letter F with a twinkle in his eyes.

Soon everyone was busy, blowing the balloons, hanging them and also buntings.

Mother, who had been in the kitchen walked into the dining room and exclaimed, “Wow! The living room is looking beautiful. I have made a cake in the shape of a fish.”

Letter F rushing bubbling like a fizzy drink darted towards the kitchen.

Looking at the cake, he marvelled, “This looks like a real fish and it has fins too! Thanks mummy dear!”

Later in the evening everyone got ready and letter F wore his new Fireman’s outfit.

Soon, letter F's friends started coming for the party. First one to arrive was Fatima, who brought him a nice big family board game. She gave it to him and wished him a happy birthday.

The next was Fred who said, “Happy birthday letter F, I got you a flute as you as you love music.”

“Thanks, that’s sweet of you. I’ll enjoy playing it for sure,” said letter F.

After Fred was Falak who came in. She was finding it difficult to balance the big gift and walk simultaneously. She wished F and gave him a gift, “This has 'Foam Blocks' to play with. I love blocks. Thanks, Falak. Please come in!” said letter F delightfully.

Many more friends soon joined in.

First, they played indoor party games like pinning the donkey’s tail, passing the parcel, etc.

Then the friends moved to the garden and had fun playing football. Soon it was time to cut the cake.

As letter F blew the five candles and cut the fish cake, all his friends sang, “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you!”

Everybody was so happy. The friends and letter F were famished after all the playing.

Mummy served all kinds of finger foods! Everything from noodles, fish fingers, cutlets, chips, to doughnuts was delicious. But letter F’s focus was on his favourite food, the French Fries.

After enjoying all the delicious finger foods, the friends were ready to leave. F had a lot of fun with his friends and thanked them all for coming with a return gift. Overjoyed, all the friends went back home.

Letter F thanked his family, for a great birthday party. Now it was time for him to go to bed. Letter F brushed his teeth and changed into his night suit and went to bed. As he lay thinking about his birthday, he saw fireflies dancing outside his bedroom window, which looked as if they were wishing him too. Soon F was fast asleep.
