Once upon a time, it was Leo's birthday. The sun was shining bright. Leo felt very happy. He wore his favorite red hat.
Knock, knock! Who is there? It was his friends! Mia, Ben, and Sam were here.
They shouted,'Surprise! 'Leo laughed. Haha! The garden looked colorful.
There were blue streamers and yellow flowers. Suddenly, a big box appeared in the middle of the grass. What was inside? Leo was excited.
His eyes went wide. 'Let's open it! 'said Mia. They pulled the ribbon.
Zip! The box popped open. Whoosh! Hundreds of balloons floated up.
Red ones, blue ones, and green ones. They bounced up and down. Boing, boing! The friends jumped to catch them.
'Catch me! 'said a blue balloon. Leo ran fast. Zoom!
He caught the blue balloon. But then, a little green balloon got stuck in a tree. Oh no! The green balloon looked sad.
It could not fly down. 'We must help it,'said Ben. They stood on their tiptoes. They stretched their arms high.
Still, it was too high. Can you guess what happened next? Leo had an idea. 'Let's work together!
'he said. Leo lifted Ben. Ben lifted Sam. Sam reached up.
Stretch, grab! Sam got the balloon. Pop! No, not pop!
He saved it gently. The green balloon was safe again. Everyone cheered. Yay!
They danced with the balloons. Swish, swoosh, swish. They ate yummy cake. It tasted sweet.
Leo smiled at his friends. 'This is the best party ever,'he said. Being with friends is the best magic of all.
