Happy birthday

Who doesn’t like to celebrate their birthday? Most people enjoy it and so do most of the girls. It was Nongnuch’s* birthday, she turned 14. A wonderful meal was prepared; the mother helped the birthday girl making banana cakes, two girls prepared soup, and another girl made papaya salad. It was lovely to see the whole family contributing to make this meal a feast. When they had all enjoyed the meal there was a cake with candles for Nongnuch to blow out while she made a wish and of course there was also a present. Nongnuch was very happy, and she went around with a huge smile on her face. It was altogether an awesome party.
