   Tom was ten years old. He was a lovely boy. One day, his friend Tim said to him, “I’m going to have a birthday party on Sunday. Can you come?”

Tom asked his mother and she said, “Yes, you can go.” Then she phoned Tim’s mother. Before Tom went to the party on Sunday afternoon, his mother said to him, “Tom, don’t forget to be polite. Don’t ask for food. Wait until someone gives it to you.”

“All right, Mum.” Tom answered. He wanted to go there by bike, but the bike was broken. So he walked to Tim’s home.

There were a lot of children at the party. They played together for an hour. Then Tim’s mother gave them some food, but she forgot to give Tom some. He waited politely for a few minutes, and then he held his plate up in the air and said loudly, “Does anyone want a nice clean plate?”
