The Blacks and the Whites are good neighbors. They know each other well. Sometimes they have
dinner together.
Yesterday, Mrs. Black invited the Whites to have dinner again because it was her birthday. In the
afternoon, she came home from work early. On the way home, she went to the market and bought a
lot of food. First she bought some beef because Mr. Black liked it best. And she knew that Mr. White
liked chicken and Mrs. White's favorite food was fish. So she bought some chicken and fish. She also
bought some vegetables and fruit. She wanted to get everything ready for the dinner.
When Mr. Black came back home, Mrs. Black was busy cooking. "Happy birthday!" Mr. Black said
and brought her a bunch of flowers. "Oh, thanks. What beautiful flowers! Would you please put them in
the sitting-room? I'm busy now."
"OK," said Mr. Black."And I can help you put the candles on the birthday cake."
"A birthday cake?" Mrs. Black said, " I forgot to buy it."
"Never mind. I'll buy it now. I'll be back in a few minutes." Mr. Black said while he was running
towards the door.
Just then, the doorbell rang. They were the Whites. In their hands there was a big birthday cake.
