The Birthday Party Surprise (Oxford 3000 Vocabulary Series)
Estimated reading time: 0:36s
At Tim’s birthday party, his boss gave him a book about adventures. Tim, excited, shared it with his friends, both eager to read. As they turn the pages, they read about a hero who found a mysterious bowl hidden under the ground. Just as they learned about the bond between the hero and a magical dog with a shiny boot, there was a loud boom outside. Everyone jumped, but it was just balloons popping, not a bomb. Tim laughed, relieved, and later, they all enjoyed a cake shaped like a bone. Tim felt lucky to be born into such a fun group of friends.
