Lily was playing with her dolls in her room. She liked to make them talk and dress them up. She heard a knock on the door. She wondered who it was. She ran to the door and opened it a little bit. She peeked out and saw her mother.
"Hello, Lily," her mother said. "I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see it?"
Lily nodded. She loved surprises. She opened the door wider and followed her mother to the living room. There, on the couch, was a big box with a bow on it. It was for Lily.
"What is it, Mommy?" Lily asked. She was very curious.
"It's a present for you, sweetie," her mother said. "It's from your grandma. She sent it for your birthday. Do you want to open it?"
Lily nodded again. She was very excited. She ran to the couch and tried to lift the box. But it was too heavy. She could not move it.
"Mommy, help me," Lily said. "The box is too heavy."
Her mother smiled and helped her lift the box. They put it on the floor and tore off the paper. Inside, there was a beautiful dollhouse. It had many rooms and furniture and dolls. Lily gasped. She was very happy.
"Wow, Mommy, it's amazing," Lily said. "Thank you, thank you, thank you. And thank you, Grandma."
Her mother hugged her and kissed her. "You're welcome, Lily," she said. "I'm glad you like it. Happy birthday, my darling."
Lily smiled and hugged her back. She could not wait to play with her new dollhouse. She was the happiest girl in the world.
