LEAFY TWIG BAKES A BIRTHDAY CAKE

IT WAS TWIGMAN'S BIRTHDAY AND LEAFY TWIG DECIDED TO BAKE HIM A BIRTHDAY CAKE.

WHEN THE CAKE CAME OUT OF THE OVEN LEAFY LET IT COOL AND THEN PUT A VERY SPECIAL PRETTY ICING DECORATION ON IT BUT IT DID NOT SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

WHEN THE CAKE WAS DONE LEAFY WENT OUT TO HER GARDEN AND BEGAN TO PULL WEEDS. TWIGMAN CAME THROUGH THE KITCHEN AND SAW THE CAKE. HE THOUGHT IT WAS VERY NICE AND HE DID NOT THINK ABOUT IT BEING HIS BIRTHDAY. HE CUT HIMSELF A NICE BIG PIECE OF CAKE.

AFTER SCHOOL THORNY CAME THROUGH THE KITCHEN AND DECIDED TO HAVE A NICE PIECE OF CAKE AND HE CUT HIMSELF A HUGE PIECE.

IN A LITTLE WHILE KNOBBY SAW THE CAKE AND CUT HIMSELF A REALLY BIG PIECE. THERE WAS NOT MUCH LEFT OF THE CAKE BY THIS TIME.

WHEN LEAFY CAME BACK TO THE KITCHEN AND SAW THERE WAS ONLY A LITTLE CAKE LEFT SHE BECAME VERY ANGRY AND THREW WHAT WAS LEFT INTO THE TRASH.

AT SUPPER TIME FUZZY SAID, "MAMMA, WHY DIDN'T YOU BAKE A CAKE FOR DADDY'S BIRTHDAY?" TWIGMAN, THORNY AND KNOBBY ALL SAID, "OH, OH!" BUT LEAFY SAID NOTHING AND FUZZY COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE FAMILY WAS SO QUIET.
