Happy birthday day

The following morning was my birthday. I woke up at five so that I could prepare for the day. I had invited a group of friends, and therefore everything had to be ready. I went to the kitchen and prepared all the food stuffs that were necessary. I was done by eight. All of my family members were awake by then. I joined them in the dining room for the breakfast. My mother was the first to wish me the happy birthday. Everybody sang happily for me. I enjoyed the moment.

At 11, all of my friends were at my place. We started storytelling. I narrated to them how we were scared yesterday following the gunshots. At 1, we decided to go to the forest to have a cool breeze at the river bank. It was a nice spot. When we reached the river bank, we had some screams coming from the south. We all kept silent to get to know what was happening. The sound was of Antony, my best friend, who was also coming to my birthday. We all got scared. We ran to the direction where the screams were coming from. We saw a snake chasing him. Immediately, my friend, Oscar, had a gun on him, got it out and shot the snake. We were all relieved. Thanks to Oscar as he always carries his licensed gun wherever he goes. I ran to him and hugged him together with my friend Arnold.
