Today is my father’s birthday. My mother makes a cake. Then she goes to the shop to buy candles.
My father gets home at half past four. He sees the cake. Then he takes it to the backyard(后院). He sits down and waits for my mother.
Two hours later, my mother gets back. She doesn’t look happy.
“Hi, I make a cake for you, but I don’t have any candles. I go to many shops, but can’t find any.”
“No candles?”
“No candles?”
My father points to (指着) the cake plate(盘子). It is empty. There isn’t any cake in it.
