Molly had four nice pets to play with. Their name were Jumbo, Big boy, Penny and Quack. Jumbo was a fat little pig who liked to dig holes with his nose. Big boy was a big white rooster who was very proud. Penny was a little dog who could do tricks and you can guess that Quack was a little yellow duck.

Molly had just come to town from the farm. She did not know any children in town, but she had a good time playing with her pets. After school started, Molly made many new friends. Al the children liked her and were very nice to her. One day Betty Jane asked Molly to come to a party at her house on the next Saturday. Molly had never fond to a party before. She was so happy that she ran all the way home to tell her mother about it.

Molly’s mother was happy, too, when Molly told her about the party. “I know that you will have a nice time”, she said “and you shall have a new dress for your first party”. Molly thought she could not wait for Saturday to come.
