Children 's Corner

Anna fer í afmælisboð hjá Michelle
Klukkan tvö fer Anna í afmælisboðið hjá Michelle. Þar eru sjö börn
samankomin fyrir utan hana og Michelle. Öll börnin eru mjög hrifin af
hvolpinum hennar og vilja stöðugt vera að klappa honum. Börnin eru öll úti
í garði að leika sér við hvolpinn, en hann er orðin ansi þreyttur þegar mam-
ma hennar Michelle kallar á þau að koma inn og fá sér heitt súkkulaði og
rjómatertu um hálf tjögur. Michelle tekur hvolpinn inn í eldhús og gefur
honum vatn að drekka og lokar hann þar inni á meðan börnin fara inn í
borðstofuna og fá sér að borða. Þegar þau eru búin að fá sér rjómatertu og
heitt súkkulaði og annað góðgæti, fer Michelle að opna afmælisgjafirnar frá
börnunum og það er margt skemmtilegt sem hún fær. Meðal annars fær hún
nokkra geisladiska, snyrtivörur, föt og hálsfesti. Þegar hún er búin að taka
upp gjafirnar spyr hún hvort þau vilji horfa á bíómynd, en krakkarnir vilja
heldur fá að leika sér við hvolpinn. Einhver spyr Michelle hvort hún sé búin
að gefa honum nafn. Hún segir að hann eigi að lieita Ares í höfuðið á gríska
herguðinum. Öllum börnunum fínnst það fínt nafn fyrir hann, hann er hvort
sem er alveg guðdómlegur. Um sex leitið fara börnin heim og Anna og
Michelle eru einar eftir.
Anna goes to Michelle’s Birthday Party
At two o’clock Anna goes to Michelle’s birthday party. There are seven
children there already besides her and Michelle. All of the children are
very found of the puppy and want to pet him all the time. The children are
all outside in the yard playing with the puppy, but he is getting pretty tired
when Michelle’s mom calls them around three-thirty to come inside and
have some hot chocolate and whipped cream tarts. Michelle takes the pup-
py into the kitchen and gives him water to drink and locks him in while the
children go into the dining room to eat. When they have had some whipped
cream tarts and hot chocolate and other goodies, Michelle opens her gifts
from the ehildren and receives many interesting things. Among other
things she gets a few CD’s, makeup, clothes and a necklace. When she has
finished opening her gifts she asks if anyone would like to watch a movie,
but the children would rather get to play with the puppy. Somebody asks
Michelle if she has given him a name. She says that his name is Ares after
the Greek war god. All the children think that it is a fíne name for him,
because he is so divine anyway. Around six the children go home and Anna
and Michelle are the only ones left.
