Saige's Surprise!

Hey guys! This is Saige, and Katrina and Samantha surprised me for my birthday! I thought they totally forgot about it. Here is how they surprised me!

(Told in my point of view.)

One day Samantha told me that I needed to see something outside.

"What?" I asked. "What do I need to see?"

"Um," Samantha wasn't sure how to answer. "Um, oh! A leaf!"

"A leaf?" I asked.

Samantha threw her hands up. "Yes! A leaf!"

Samantha put her hand on my shoulder. "Yes, just please just go look at the leaf over there."

I looked at Samantha. "Where is this leaf?"

Samantha laughed. "Straight ahead."

I looked straight ahead, and then again. Was I believing my eyes?

"Happy birthday Saige!" cried Katrina.

"What? How?" I stumbled around for the right words.

Katrina smiled, "Elizabeth let us borrow Penny for your birthday!"

Katrina walked Penny over to Samantha and I.

I still didn't believe this. Because I didn't have a horse of my own, I was looking to take riding lessons. Now, here I could ride Penny!

All three of us girls came over to pet Penny.

I had to change my shoes.

Samantha let me borrow the boots she was wearing. 

Samantha laughed. "Nice look Saige!"

Samantha and I hopped up on the step, and Katrina brought Penny over to us.

Samantha stood back and watched.

After a lot of sliding, kicking Katrina's hands, and falling forward, I was on the horse!

I was also very nervous!

Katrina went to stand by Samantha.

I was off and on my own.

"Yes Saige!"

"You can do this Saige!" Katrina yelled.

I rode away for a little ride.

I was still a little nervous.

But then I was in Mimi's parade riding Picasso!

"Wo ho!" I shouted. "Look at me!"

After riding around for a bit I got off Penny.

I hugged Penny and whispered, "Best birthday present ever!"
