My name is Jane. My grandfather is very careless. He is a very clever man, but he never remembers little things.
April 27th was my birthday. My grandfather said to me, “I’m going to your home, and give you a present!” I was very happy. I waited for him all day, but he didn’t come, so I phoned him and asked why. He answered, “Sorry, I went to go the other granddaughter’s house.”
What a careless grandfather!
