Birthday Celebration:

There was a boy named Mahesh. He wanted to celebrate his birthday at an old home. It was his 14th birthday. His parents agreed with his suggestion.

On that day they arrived at the home early. They decorated with balloons and colour paper. Mahesh came there with his parents. Mahesh cut his birthday cake amidst grand applause. There were singing and clapping.
