Planning Mum's Birthday Surprise

Tom, Mum's birthday is next Saturday!

Oh no, really? I forgot again!

Ha, of course you did.

Let's plan a surprise party for her!

A surprise party? Great idea!

So, what about the cake?

Mum loves chocolate cake. Let's get a big one!

I'll call the cake shop on Market Street tomorrow.

Good. And what are we going to buy her?

Hmm, maybe a new scarf?

A scarf? Oh, come on, that's boring!

She wants a garden chair. Her old one is broken.

Oh, that's a better idea. And it's cheaper too!

Now, who are we going to invite?

Aunt Jane, Uncle Mike, and her friends from work.

And Mrs Brown from next door. She's lovely!

Okay. I'll text everyone tonight.

Oh no. Sophie, we have a problem.

What? What happened?

The cake shop is closed today... all day.

Oh no... and Mum comes home at four!

Ugh, we only have five hours!

Wait, I have an idea!

Let's make the cake ourselves!

Us? Ha, I can't even make toast!

Don't worry. I'll help you. It's easy.

Well... it doesn't look very good.

It looks a bit funny, but it smells great!

Quick, I can hear her car! Lights off!

Happy birthday, Mum! Surprise!
