Tomorrow is Mina’s birthday.
She is having a party in the garden.
Mina is going to the shops with
Mum to buy a birthday dress.
“I want a blue dress,” Mina says.
Mum finds a lovely blue dress.
Mina shakes her head.
“I don’t want a blue dress.”
“I want a pink dress,” Mina says.
Mum shows her a beautiful pink dress.
Mina folds her arms.
“I don’t want a pink dress.”
“I want a green dress,” Mina says.
Mum holds out a pretty green dress.
Mina frowns.
“I don’t want a green dress.”
Mum says, “You don’t want a blue dress, you don’t want a pink dress and you don’t want a green dress.”
“What about this dress?”
Mina says,
“Yes! I love yellow.
I want the yellow dress.”
