It was April 5. When Maria came home from school, she saw a note (便条) on the door. 1 said:
Dear Maria,
Dad and I must work today. We will come home after 9 p.m.
Mom
Maria thought, "Today is my twelfth birthday. It's a 2 day for me, but Dad and Mom don't remember it." Maria called her mom, but she didn't 3 the call. Maria wasn't happy. When she opened the door and went into the house, she was 4 to see a big cake with twelve candles on the table. Her parents came out from the kitchen and said, "Happy birthday!"
Maria felt sorry and happy. Then she made a wish and 5 the candles in one go.
