Mary , the daughter of my friend , was going to university next year.She is kind - hearted 26 just a bit shy.When her birthday was around the corner I found out she was feeling a bit 27 and lonely.Her family is quite small and finances are tight , so perhaps there wouldn't be any birthday 28 . I thought sending her a small gift may 29 her day a bit.I got her school 30 from her Mom and planned to give her a 31 . I found out a small 32 and asked three other people in my area to sing Happy Birthday and send some birthday wishes to her.It was such 33 making the recording! Other people realized what we were doing and 34 their voices , so it really sounded like we had a 35 going on! Then I bought some colorful balloons , cakes , and a small present for her as 36 planned. I was delighted to 37 them(the tape , the present ... )into a box.I opened the balloons and 38 everything so it was like opening a mini birthday party! At last I 39 it off! I 40 a call a few days later.Mary told me that her roommate and a neighbor in the dormitory kept her 41 and held the party for her once the box 42 .Another girl from the nearby dorm 43 them and then the celebration came up! She sounded so happy and I was so glad that she had some friends to share her 44 day with. The friends who joined us to prepare the birthday gift 45 laugh today and talk about it.Mary said she would remember the special birthday gift forever!
