Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday to You

By: Samantha, Audrey, Karla and Omar

Giuseppe the koala wakes up in the morning.

“Its my sixth year celebrating Valentine’s Day. This holiday is very easy for me to remember because it also happens to be my birthday! I turn six today and I’ve been waiting five long years for this moment so I’m going to make sure it’s the best yet.”

“Valentine’s Day is always on the 14 of février and this year it’s also on a vendredi.”

“Since its my birthday, I’m going to wear my favorite pair of chaussures bleus. I only wear them on special occasions and make sure I’m extra careful; mommy would be really mad if I let anything happen to them, as would daddy.”

Daddy keeps rushing me. I guess he doesn’t understand the importance of my big entrance.

“Mr. Hibou isnt going to be too pleased if you’re late, Giuseppe,” my dad says in an impatient voice.

“You’re going to be late!”

“It’s a little late, but we finally leave our maison.”

“Mr. Hibou never really seems to be pleased with me. Something to do with me not paying attention in class and talking to much and blah blah blah.

“I finally arrive to school and I have about two minutes to be in my pupitre and ‘ready to learn’ (that’s what Mr. Hibou always says). “

“As I said before its Valentine’s Day and because its Valentine’s Day we have a Valentine’s Day party. You know, pizza, drinks, cards, des petits gâteaux, and so on. My mère always in charge of bringing the cupcakes, and all I can think of is Mr. Hibou saying ‘Giuseppe your mom’s here.’”

“Your mère is here!”

“Finally its 2:30 and we’re setting up. My mom finally walks through the door and Mr. Hibou says she has a surprise.

“She walks in with cupcakes, pizza, cookies, and drinks and the whole class yells ‘BON ANNIVERSAIRE!’ I couldn’t believe it was all for me. Today was my 6th birthday and I knew it would be the best yet.”

“BON ANNIVERSAIRE

À VOUS!!!”
