It was May 5. It was Mary’s birthday. She
came home, and saw a card on the table. It said, “There’s a present for you,
Mary. Go and look for it in your room.” Mary ran to her room. Her parents were
watching her. They were smiling. On her bed she saw a new red box. She thought,
“What’s in the box?” She opened it. There was nothing but a card in it. Mary
took it out and read:
“Dear
Mary, I’m your present. My first letter is in the world ‘book’, but not in
‘look’ .My second letter is in ‘ink’, but not in ‘thank’. You can find my third
letter in both ‘ink’ and ‘book’. And my last letter is in ‘she’, but no in
‘ship’. What am I?”
Mary
thought hard. B—I—K—E! She smiled and said, “Aha, I know, Mum. But where is
it?” Her mother said, “Look at the back of the card.” Mary turned it over and
read, “Come and look for me in the garden.”
Mary
hurried to the garden. There under a big tree she found her present—a nice new
bike!
“Happy
birthday, Mary!” her parents said.
“Thank
you, Mum and Dad.”
