祝福、礼物、蛋糕、贺卡……这样的生日派对肯定是令人欣喜的。那同学们又是否知道，女巫温妮的生日派对会是怎样的呢？本期Joey老师和大家分享的故事就是Happy Birthday， Winnie，我们一起来看看女巫温妮是怎么筹办她的生日派对的吧！

本期推荐：《Happy Birthday Winnie》

When Winnie the Witch turned over（翻过） the page on her calendar（日历）， she saw a big red circle around Friday（周五） the thirteenth.

"Thats my birthday（生日）！" she said.

"Ill have a party（派对）this year， Wilbur.""Purr，" said Wilbur. He loved parties.

"What kind of party？" Winnie wondered（思考）.

"I know， a garden（花园）party."

当女巫温妮翻过一页日历，她看见本周星期五，即十三号这天画着一个红色的大圆圈，原来她的生日就快到了，所以她想要举办一个花园派对，同学们猜猜，温妮会怎么准备她的生日派对呢？

On Monday（周一）Winnie wrote out the invitations（邀请函）and sent them by Winni-email.

On Tuesday（周二）she made herself a party dress， and a matching bow（蝴蝶結）for Wilbur.

On Wednesday（周三）Winnie made lots and lots of（许多）food.

Thursday（周四）Winnie took out her wand， waved it， shouted， ABRACADABRA！

And the garden was ready for （准备好）the party.

发出邀请函，装扮好花园，准备好食物，周五马上就要到了。这场生日派对会是怎样的呢？

At two oclock Winnies guests（客人）arrived（到达）.

"Happy birthday， Winnie，" they shouted（呼喊）， and they piled up（堆起来）the presents（礼物）on the lawn（草地）.

Wanda， Wilma and Wendy gave Winnie a magic carpet（魔毯）.

Aunty Alice gave her a Book of Special Spells（魔咒书）， and there was a magic trumpet（魔法小号）from Cousin Cuthbert.

宾客们给温妮带来了温暖的生日祝福，而且奇妙精巧的礼物更是让Winnie应接不暇。派对即将开始，我们来看看他们都会玩哪些派对游戏吧！

First they played musical broomsticks（音乐扫帚）.

Uncle Owen pushed Aunty Alice into a prickle（带刺的） bush. Ouch！

Cousin Cuthbert bounced off（弹开）a broomstick and landed（掉进）in the fountain（喷泉）.

"The next game is hide-and-seek（捉迷藏），" Winnie shouted.

But there was so much noise （噪音）nobody heard（听得到）her.

So Winnie picked up her new magic trumpet（魔法小号）.

Toot， toot， toot， Winnie tootled...

and everybody disappeared（消失了）.

Winnie was cross（着急）. Where had they gone？

温妮吹响了魔法小号，想要引起大家的注意。然而，突然之间，所有的宾客都消失了！正当温妮焦急万分时，她看到了魔法小号的温馨提示！是什么呢？

IMPORTANT（重要）： to make people disappear（消失）， toot three times.

to make them come back， stand on your head（倒立） and toot three times.

So Winnie stood on her head. Toot， toot， toot， she tootled...and everybody came back.

"And now its time for the surprise，" said Winnie. She opened her new Book of Special Spells（魔咒书）.

"Shut your eyes and think about your favorite cake！" she said.

Aunty Alice thought about chocolate（巧克力）cake.

Cousin Cuthbert thought about rainbow（彩虹） cake.

Wilbur thought about cheese（芝士）cake.

Then Winnie the Witch shut her eyes， turned around three times， and shouted， ABRACADABRA！

And there was the biggest（最大的）birthday cake in the whole world（全世界）， with candles（蜡烛）on the top.

温妮闭上了双眼，用第二份生日礼物——魔咒书，在众人眼前变出了全世界最大的蛋糕。哇，这会是一个怎样的蛋糕呀？

There was a layer（层）of chocolate cake， a layer of fruit cake， a layer of rainbow cake， a layer of cheese cake.

"How will you blowout（吹灭）the candles？" asked Cousin Cuthbert.

"Thats easy，" Winnie rode（骑上）on her magic carpet（魔法飞毯） to the top of the cake.

Puff， puff， puffffffff！

"Ha ha ha，" laughed Winnie.

"This party is such fun， Wilbur！ Im a very lucky witch."

Wilbur didnt say anything.

His mouth was full（充滿了）of cheese cake. What a lucky black cat！

原来温妮把大家喜欢的蛋糕都放在了一起，变成了一座巨型“蛋糕塔”！接着，温妮乘上“魔法飞毯”，不费吹灰之力就来到了蛋糕最顶层吹灭了蜡烛。生日派对就这样降下了帷幕，这份珍贵的回忆会伴随着温妮一生的。

其实，生日派对只是一个形式，更重要的是可以收获大家对自己的祝福，毕竟，被深深爱着就是最大的幸运呀！ 希望各位同学的家庭和友谊就像温妮最后给大家准备的惊喜那样——甜甜蜜蜜，长长久久。
