Readers' corner﹕A birthday surprise

It was Helen's birthday on 3rd March. Helen had a birthday party with her friends at home. She was excited.
First they played games. Then they ate the birthday cake. Helen got eight birthday presents. Jack gave her a jack-in-the-box. Helen opened it and a toy crown popped out suddenly! Helen didn't like it and felt scared, so she cried.
In the end, Jack said, "I'm sorry. Here's another present for you." He gave a Barbie doll to her. Helen forgave Jack and felt happy because she liked dolls. (text edited)
◆Comment
Hi Curtis, this is Bill. It's good that you gave the story a twist, so we know Jack just wants to lighten the party's atmosphere! Let me tell you something: I was once scared by a worm given by Eason! That's worse, isn't that?
