Dolly the dolphin was very excited. She couldn’t sleep a wink. How could she when her birthday was going to be tomorrow?
Dolly wondered what presents she would get for her birthday. Would she get the new pearl necklace she wanted really badly? Or would she get a hula-hoop?
How big would her cake be? Would all of her friends be there? Thinking and thinking, Dolly slowly fell asleep, unaware of the surprises ahead of her.
The next morning Dolly awoke to her mother’s call and the smell of her father’s kelp waffles. She went to the large shell table and saw her brother Jimmy sitting quietly for a change.
Jimmy had a mischievous smile on his face, and her mother and father weren’t saying anything. For a minute, Dolly thought she had gone mad. Her parents always said good morning to her, especially on her birthday.
As Dolly left for school, she noticed that everybody was swimming very fast and didn’t speak to her at all. Had they all forgotten it was her birthday?
