Hurrah!

Hello, Li’l Gertrud here!

Todayis my birthday. I turn one year old, and so does my dear brother Harry. Hurrah for us!

I have tried to celebrate by inviting the grown ups to play. They would not, however. They are tired of me, for trying too often to make them play, they say. This means they do not want to play even on my birthday.

Oh, well, I think I had a great birthday anyway. Life is good.
