Noah's Birthday Surprise

It is one week until Noah’s birthday. He has to wait for seven more days!

His mum says: "Your birthday present will be a BIG surprise!"

Noah wonders: What will it be?

On the first day Noah thinks: "Maybe I will get* my own laptop so I can play games and do my homework online!"

On the second day Noah thinks: "Maybe mum will bake me birthday cake as big as a car!"

On the third day Noah thinks: "Maybe it will be a dog! I can play with him and walk him and he will sleep in my room."

On the fourth day Noah thinks: "Maybe I will get a superman costume! I will wear it all day and save everyone who has a problem."

On the fifth day Noah thinks: "Maybe my dad will give me the cool new soccer boots I saw in the shoe shop! I will score a hundred goals with them."

On the sixth day Noah thinks: "Maybe we will go to Disneyland together and stay there for a whole week!"

The seventh day is Noah’s birthday. His mum smiles and says: "Come and see your surprise!"

It is the best present ever.

Noah's grandparents have come to visit all the way from Turkey, where they live.

Noah smiles and smiles and his grandfather lifts him up in the air and hugs him.

Noah's grandmother asks: "What do you want to do for your birthday, grandson?"

And Noah knows exactly what they will do the whole day long…
