The Blacks and the Whites are good neighbors.They know each other well.Sometimes they have dinner together.
On Friday,Mrs.Black invites the Whites to have dinner for her birthday at her home.In the afternoon,she comes home from work early.On the way home,she goes to the market first.She buys some beef because Mr.Black likes it best.And she knows that Mr. White likes chicken and fish,too.She also buys some vegetables and fruit.She wants to get everything ready for dinner.
When Mr.Black comes back home,Mrs.Black is busy cooking. "Happy birthday!"Mr.Black says and brings her a bunch of flowers. "Oh,thanks.What beautiful flowers!Could you please put them in the living room first?I'm busy now."
"OK,"says Mr.Black."And I can help you put the candles on the birthday cake."
"The birthday cake?"Mrs.Black says."Oh!I forgot to buy it."
"Never mind.I'll go to buy it now.I'll be back in a few minutes," Mr.Black says while he is running towards the door.
At the same time,the doorbell rings.They are the Whites.In their hands there is a big birthday cake.
