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 word ‘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 not in ‘ship’. What am I?”

Mary thought hard. B-I-K-E! She smiled and said, “Aha, I know, Mom. 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, Mom and Dad.”

Mrs. Jones is waiting for an important telephone call, but she has no vegetables at home, so she leaves the baby and says to her five-year-old son, “I’m going to the shops, Jimmy, and I’ll be back in a few minutes.”

While she is out, the telephone rings, and Jimmy answers.

“Hello,” says a man. “Is your mother here?”

“No.” answers Jimmy.

“Well, when she comes back, tell her Mr. Baker telephones.”

“What?” says Jimmy.

“Mr. Baker, write it down B-A-K-E-R.”

“How do you make a B,” asks Jimmy.

“How do I make B? Listen, little boy, is there anyone else with you? Any brothers or sisters?”

“My brother Billy is here.”

“Good, I want to talk to him, please.”

“All right.” Jimmy takes the telephone to the baby’s bed and gives it to Billy. When their mother comes back, she asks, “Does anyone telephone?”

“Yes,” says Jimmy, “a man. But he only wants to talk to Billy.”
