The Camping Birthday (Oxford 3000 Vocabulary Series)
Estimated reading time: 0:50s
Tom was busy planning a birthday camp by the lake. He called his friends to join him and packed a tent, a warm sleeping bag, and a card for a game they all loved. At the camp, they set up tents and gathered wood to build a fire. While collecting firewood, Tom spotted a buck in the woods, watching them curiously. The night was cold, but the fire kept them warm. Tom baked a chocolate cake that smelled delicious. Everyone sang and ate cake by the fire. They had so much fun, but it was late, and they were tired. Before they slept, they carefully put out the fire to make sure nothing would burn. In the morning, they buried their leftover food to keep the site clean. Tom felt happy because he took care of his friends and had a great birthday case to remember.
