That day the weather was pleasant – warm and sunny. I got up early though it was Sunday. While I was making coffee my mother returned from church. On her way home she bought a very nice cake and we had it with coffee. Mother always buys chocolate eggs for my two sons and the boys can’t wait to open them. All their friends get choclate eggs too. They count the eggs and then tell each other how many eggs they’ve got.

3) Tommy Forester

We didn’t have very many toys to put on the tree but we decided to decorate it with sweets, nuts, and little flags. Our mother and granny were in the kitchen cooking some very special things. When we heard Big Ben striking twelve, we sat to table and wished each other a lot of success.
