“What do you want for Christmas this year?” asked mother. “I would like to have the new princess doll,” said Wendy. Mother said, “I am afraid that doll is much too expensive.” Wendy cried, “It is the only thing I want.” Just then Wendy’s friend said, “I want a cupcake doll. On Christmas morning, I was disappointed because I got a plain doll. All my friends got the cupcake doll. About a week after Christmas, however, each one of their cupcake dolls broke.” “They did!” exclaimed Wendy, wide-eyed. “Yes,” said the friend, “And, to this day, I have my plain doll.” Wendy picked her pencil up and scratched out the word princess and wrote the word plain instead. On Christmas, she opened the gift from her mother. She was expecting a plain doll but what she got was her princess doll. “Wow,” exclaimed Wendy, “Thank you, mother!” “Merry Christmas, Wendy!” exclaimed mother.
