Prop Story

The Surprise; adapted from George Shannon
Little Bee was worried. His mother’s birthday was today he still hadn’t found her a present. She had perfume & books & the most beautiful garden. He’d already given her drawings, and songs that he’d made up. And every time he made a cake, he burned it.

He sighed and said, “I’ll just have to give her a plain old birthday card,” but then he had an idea.  He left his mother a note and a big box saying, “Open your birthday present right away!”  When his mother came home she saw the box and the note.  She untied the ribbon and opened the box. But there was another box inside. So she opened that box – and found another box! And opened that box – and found another box! And when she opened that box… Little Bee jumped out and gave her a big kiss!
