THE BIRTHDAY GIFT
THE BIRTHDAY GIFT 1
A day to my birthday, I arrived
back from work and my gardener presented me with a white envelope. It contained
what looked like a card. Taking it inside the house I dropped it at the table.
I soon forgot everything about it.
After a shower and dinner I went
straight to bed but I could not sleep. By this time the year before, I threw a
lavish birthday party but this year I wanted to be alone. What was the need celebrating
anyway? I asked myself. Then I remembered the envelope on the table. I reached
for it and opened it, I was surprised at what I saw.
THE BIRTHDAY GIFT 2
It was a birthday card. It
contained my picture in a very simple but artistic design. I was touched
because nobody have ever given such a gift before. It was very beautiful.
THE BIRTHDAY GIFT 3
At the back of the card was a
simple hand written message neatly and beautifully written: Happy birthday to a
grand lady as beautiful as the morning sun and smiles like the silvery moon
that lightens our path at night. JAMES.
Who could this james be? I asked
myself. I knew only two James’. One left the country two years ago and the only
other one I knew was my gardener. I waited till the next day to inquire of him
who the James that sent the card was.
