Male Female

Ever since I was a little girl, I've always wanted a dollhouse. My parents told me that if I got good marks in school and on my examinations, I would be able to get one. I did get good marks, but they weren't good enough. I didn't get the gift. I was really disappointed about it. It was my birthday. I went to my room and saw it. I was really excited to see it. And when I opened the box, much to my surprise, there it was. The dollhouse was right there. So it's been my favorite toy ever since I got it. And when I received it, I was immensely happy and played with it the whole day. And in fact, you may find this surprising, but I still have it and play with it. It's in perfectly good condition. And my younger sister even plays with it.
