Last Friday, my friend Ananya had a big birthday party at her house. I was so excited to go! When I arrived, I saw my friends Aarav and Priya playing near the garden. For a gift, I bought her a book called The Secret Garden. We ate pizza and drank mango juice while listening to music. Her dad said, "The cake is ready for everyone to eat." It was the most fun I have had all year. We played a game called hide and seek in the backyard. Then, my friend Arjun won a prize for being the best dancer. Later that evening, we watched a movie on the big screen. I sat next to Maya and we shared some popcorn. Her brother, Kiran, brought out a bowl of chips too. After the movie, we all sang "Happy Birthday" very loudly. It was a wonderful night that I will never forget.
