Изгубеният рожден ден

06юни08

Once upon a time there was a big Father Elephant. He lived at Whipsnade Zoo near London with a Mother Elephant and their little son whose name was Yalmar.
One day Mother Elephant found Father Elephant sitting on his head.
- How funny you are! What ever are you doing? – asked in surprise Mother Elephant
- I … I am trying to remember something. – said Father Elephant
- To remember? What are you trying to remember?
- If I knew that, I wouldn’t be trying to remember it, my dear, would I? – sadly pointed out Father Elephant and walked away.

- Yalmar! Yalmar! Where are you? Come here!- called Mother Elephant her son
- What do you want, Mother dear?
- Run along, Yalmar, and find out what your father has forgotten. – greatly excited said Mother Elephant.
Yalmar began to walk up and down the Zoo very slowly. Then he stoped near the trees and sat down under one of them.
- I don’t know where to find what my father has forgotten.
Soon he heard the sound of crying. He got up and looked around. He tried to find out who is crying, but there was nobody
- Who are you? I can’t see you.
And he heard a voice from behind: „I’m a lost birthday and I don’t know who I belong to.“

- Oh, dear! That’s sad! – said Yalmar and frowned. But suddenly he asked- Is there a birthday cake?

„Of course! There’s always a birthday cake on birthdays. This one’s got six candles. Someone’s six today.“)
- How nice to be six. That’s a very nice age. Almost as nice as being seven. Five is nice too: and so is four. And as for eight, well, when you’re eight you’ll need only eight or perhaps ten more years and you’ll be grown-up. Still, I think I’d like best to be six. I’m terribly sorry, but I can’t help you. I don’t know who’s forgotten a birthday. Good-bye. I must go home. Mother’s waiting for me.

Yalmar got home just in time for dinner.

- I remembered I knew it was yesterday or tomorrow… or today, and it is… – said Father Elephant between the bites.

- It is what?- asked Yalmar as Mother Elephant entered.
- Your birthday, Yalmar. You’re six today. -said Mother Elephant

Yalmar became very excited. He ran up to the tree near which he heard the voice of the lost birthday.
- Hallo! You’re my birthday. I’m six today.
:“Hooray, hooray, hooray!“

That afternoon at tea-time, Yalmar had a birthday cake with six candles.
- It is fun!- said happily Yalmar- I like being six.
