“Anna's Birthday Surprise IT'S THE MIDDLE OF JANUARY. ANNA AND CHARLIE are sitting on the parlor floor, building a tower with Anna's Erector set. They cannot make a ferris wheel because they do not have enough pieces. Santa didn't bring Charlie an Erector set. He brought him mittens, socks, a scarf, and a warm hat instead. Charlie's mother says Santa knows what's best for Charlie but Charlie isn't so sure of that. "Santa didn't bring me an Erector set, either," Anna reminds Charlie. "My uncles a...nd aunts gave it to me." "Maybe Santa ran out of Erector sets," Charlie says glumly. "That must be it," Anna agrees. "Santa's elves couldn't make enough for everyone this year. You'll get your set next Christmas." Anna and Charlie work quietly for a while. Then Charlie says, "Your birthday is next week. Are you having a party?" Anna shakes her head. She has pestered Mother for days but it has done no good. Mother will not say yes to a party. Charlie looks as disappointed as Anna feels. "That's too bad," he says.MoreLessRead More Read Less
