My Grandma’s Birthday
It was a freezing, cold winter evening. It was nearly Christmas and also my grandma’s birthday! We were all very positive and really excited for the evening. When my grandmother came, there were balloons all over the hotel. She was so surprised and astonished! Her birthday was in a ball. It was a masquerade party. I was wearing a cat mask and a short ball gown with tights.
My grandfather was planning a surprise play for my grandmother and he said not to tell her! My mom said to my brother, “So, Rashad you are the people.” My brother told my mom, “Tee people need the bathroom!” Everyone laughed. My brother was so confused. I was a leopard and so was my cousin, Yasmine. My cousins Sumi and Yara played princess and knight. My oldest cousin, Nabouli, played king and Mariam, the second oldest, played queen. Omar played lion and Tafi played tiger. My brother, Saria and Tamer played people. It turned out to be a magnificent play.
The play was about a stubborn princess who met a knight. The knight fell in love with the princess. The princess said to the knight, “I’ll marry you if you get my glove.” She threw the glove between the lion, tiger, and the leopards. The knight stared at the queen and king. The king announced, “We will have a hero in the country if he gets that glove!” Everyone cheered! The knight ran to the animals and, as fast as a rocket, he grabbed the glove and threw it at the princess. Then he walked away. He didn’t want to marry the princess because she made him risk his life. But still he became the hero of the country.
After, we had a delicious dinner. I had spaghetti and salad, and so did everyone else! We got bored so my family and I started dancing in one of the best discos ever! The DJ played all our favorite songs. We danced and danced until our feet were sore.
