On Saturday afternoon at four, we’re havinga surprise birthday party
for our daughter Rachel. She’ll turn thirteen. Her cousins Charles and
Barbara will arrive early to help prepare. We’ll take pictures, play cards
and some board games. We’ve ordered a birthday cake and her favorite
dessert, strawberry ice cream. We’ve invited about thirty of her( o ver)
friends and told them to come over before four. We hope all her
friends get here by four before Rachel returns from the park. When
they’re all here,we’ll call Mark to bring her over. When they open the
front door the lights will be turned off. Her thirty friends will be waiting
nervously in the other room. We hope it works out and that Rachel will
be really surprised.
