''My Birthday Surprise''
was created especially for Jessica Ann Smith
with love from
Mommy and Daddy
February 2, 2003
Jessica
Smith was so excited! Her
''big'' day had finally arrived! She
had reminded everyone in Atlanta
about her birthday on February
2,
for a long time. Jessica
had not
wanted a single person to forget
this special day. Today she was 6.
For months now, Jessica
had been
dreaming day and night about her
party. She had asked her friends
again and again, ''Do you suppose my
birthday will ever get here?'' There
were many names on her invitation
list. Jessica hoped
Amy could come.
She was really looking
forward to a great time!
It seemed to Jessica
that her
dreams always started out the same
way. She would be sitting in the
middle of an enormous room all
dressed up for her party. Beside
her was a key ring with 10 magic
keys, each a different color.
Around her would be doors, and Jessica knew that
the keys were
there to open those matching,
colored doors.
In each dream, Jessica
would find
many happy, wonderful surprises
behind the locked doors... except
for one. There were 11 doors, but
only 10 keys. Jessica
wondered how
she would get into that last room.
There wasn't even a knob on the
door. Every time she would start to
search for the missing key, she
would wake up. Oh well! Maybe Amy
could help her.
