Worms
arcie wanted to give her mother a special present for her birthday. She thought and thought, but couldn't think of anything special enough.
She counted her money. She had two dollars. “What can l buy for two dollars?" she thought.
Dad took Darcie shopping. He bought a new fishing pole for his wife's birthday. “I know she'll like that," he told Darcie.
"Now I know what I can give Mom for her birthday," said Darcie. And so, she bought her mom a box of
worms.
Dad laughed and said, “I never heard of people getting worms for their birthday. But you're right. It is just what Mom will want."
Darcie wrapped the box of worms in birthday paper and put it in the refrigerator.
When Mom's birthday finally arrived, Darcie, Dad and Mom went fishing at the pond.
Mom liked both of her birthday presents very much. Most importantly, she enjoyed the time they spent fishing together.
