It was a lovely night in Brooklyn.
Patty Lane was in her bedroom thinking about tomorrow.
Tomorrow was was March 22nd, her birthday. She was so very excited.
"Happy birthday to me" she sang.
Her brother, Ross came into the room.
"Hey, sis" he said.
"Hi, Ross" said Patty.
"Excited for tomorrow, huh?" Ross said.
"You bet. Cathy and I are headed to Australia tomorrow. I might be able to see my friend Calvin there" said Patty.
"That's really great. I hope you have fun" said Ross.
"There's no way I won't. I love traveling" said Patty.
"And yet, you've never been away from Brooklyn" said Ross.
"Oh, please. I can be excited can't I?" said Patty.
"Sure you can" said Ross with a smile.
Then he took off his glasses and fell asleep in less than five minutes.
He was dead tired, but Patty had a little trouble falling asleep. She was really excited for her Australian birthday.
She was so excited that she thought she wouldn't sleep a wink. But she did fall asleep eventually.
The next day, Patty woke up and got dressed.
Her outfit consisted of a red shirt, black jacket, shoes and skirt, and white tights. Her brown hair was left down because it was so short.
She went downstairs where her cousin Cathy was eating pastries for breakfast.
Cathy was wearing a sparkling pink shirt and white skirt and tights with black shoes. Her hair was combed back with a black headband.
"Hey, Cathy" said Patty.
"Happy birthday, Patty. Are you ready for Australia?" said Cathy with a smile.
"You know it, cuz! That boy Calvin we met not too long ago said he lives there. Maybe we'll see him" said Patty.
"We will. I contacted him and he said he'll pick us up at the airport" said Cathy.
"Oh, terrific! I wonder what else we'll do there" said Patty.
"Lots of things, I suppose. Australia is a big place" said Cathy.
"Then what are we waiting for?" said Patty.
The two cousins got on a plane and flew to Australia.
