In her dreams, Jessica
liked to
start with the blue key that
unlocked the blue door. The blue
room looked as if it held a billion
bouncing balloons. There were
balloons of different shapes, colors
and sizes, and Jessica had fun
walking through them. There was one
balloon that had to be the biggest,
bluest balloon she had ever seen.
This was so much fun, Jessica
raced
on to the next door ! |

The second door opened up to a white
room with lots and lots of birthday
cakes. There were tiny cakes and
gigantic cakes and cakes just big
enough for Jessica to
eat all by
herself. Some cakes were huge, but
there was one snowy white cake
behind the white door that had 7
huge layers. It was a cake for
Jessica. She wanted
to show all
these beautiful cakes to Amy. |

When Jessica
opened the cherry red
door, she almost fell backward!
What a fun dream! In front of her
was a monstrous mountain of melting
ice cream. There were cherries,
nuts, whipped cream and syrup
running down the sides. Jessica
thought it would be so much fun to
slide down this kind of mountain.
What a delightful, delicious time
she would have ! |

Jessica
giggled when she opened the
orange door to the clown room.
Inside she found forty funny clowns,
most of them with bright orange
hair. There were fat clowns and
thin clowns, short clowns and tall
clowns, happy clowns and sad clowns.
Some clowns did tricks while other
silly clowns just clowned around. In
this orange room, Jessica
laughed
until she could laugh no more. |

The green room had so many presents
that Jessica had trouble
opening
the door. She wondered if any of
the gifts were from Amy.
She was
hoping that one of those boxes
would have something very nice she
could play with on her birthday.
Maybe it was the gigantic green
gift box! Should she open it? No,
she must hurry to the next door. |

Jessica
jumped up and down when she
opened the glittering gold door and
found a golden room full of rides
for her birthday party. In the
middle of the room was a beautiful
gold merry-go-round. Surrounding
it, Jessica could see
the ponies
with their golden saddles, a train
ride and even a small ferris wheel ! |

A pink door opened up into a candy
room. Jessica was amazed
at all the
candy. She found suckers, gumdrops,
lollipops, peppermint sticks, hard
candies, soft candies and all kinds of
chocolate candies. There was also the
biggest, bubbliest bunch of pink bubble
gum that she had ever seen. Jessica
knew that she would have to share this
candy with Amy or she
would have a big
tummyache. |

Behind the brown door were many,
many huggable animals. Jessica
wanted to hold and squeeze the soft,
cuddly brown teddy bears, as well as
the cats, dogs, monkeys and
dinosaurs. Some of the other
animals, like the giraffe, were
taller than Jessica.
Others were so
small they would fit in her hand.
If she put all these animals in her
room, she might not be able to find
her bed. Wow, that would be neat ! |

When Jessica
opened the yellow
door, she found a yellow room
filled with games fit for a king.
Jessica saw pin the
tail on the
donkey, a fishing pond, balloons
for water fights, jacks, musical
chairs, drop the clothespin in the
bottle, bobbing for yellow apples,
hopscotch and ring toss. Jessica
knew exactly which games she would
play first in the yellow room. |

Using the shiny silver key, Jessica
opened the silver door and saw
colorful streamers decorating every
inch of the tenth room. She also
found everything else she needed for
her birthday party. Here were the
plates, cups, napkins, forks and
spoons. For her guests, there were
stacks and stacks of silver whistles,
silver bells, horns, blowers,
birthday hats and other party favors.
She knew that she was ready for her
birthday party when she saw the
squirt guns ! |

Jessica
found herself in front of the
last door that had no key. She
leaned against the door to peek
through the keyhole and, as she did,
the door silently opened. She looked
inside. The rainbow-colored room was
ready for a birthday party with
something from each of the other ten
rooms, but Jessica was
puzzled.
Something was missing! How could a
birthday party be fun if you were all
alone? She became very sad. |

Suddenly many voices sang out
''Surprise!'' and ''Happy Birthday!" at
the same time. Jessica Smith
blinked her eyes and immediately
stopped daydreaming. She turned
around and saw Amy.
This was her
best birthday surprise of all ! Now
she knew that having family and
friends was much more important than
all the presents and decorations or
even the cake. Oh, it was fun to be
6 and have a birthday celebration ! |
