A Cake for Kate

Kate was turning ten. But she

ordinary days for her. She never
had a birthday party. She never
had a cake on her birthday. But
she wished she could have one.
 After school, she would stand
near the gate to sell rice cakes
that her mother made.
One late afternoon, Kate saw a
big box on one of the benches.
She picked it up and opened it.
There were glasses, spoons, and
forks. There were also boxes and
wristwatches, a bag of marbles,
chocolates, comb, and some
dresses. She closed the big box.
She brought it to the principal’s
office.
The next day, Mr. Basa, the
school principal and a lady come
to Kate’s class. The lady was
Mrs. Salas, the owner of the box.
Mr. Basa looked for Kate and he
told Mrs. Salas how Kate found
the big box. Mrs. Salas thanked
Kate.
I just arrived from Cebu and
the things inside the box are my
“pasalubong” for my family”, she
said. “I was on your school
because I had to fetch my
nephew. Then, I forgot that box,
she added.
Sunday came. It was Kate’s
birthday. After attending the
mass, Kate and her mother went
home. They were surprised to
see Mrs. Salas waiting for them.
“Happy birthday, Kate”, Mrs.
Salas said. “I brought you a gift. I
asked your teacher about you
and I am happy to know that you
are not only a helpful daughter
but an honest girl, too. She gave
Kate a red box tied with ribbon.
Kate opened the box. What a
surprise! It was a cake for her
birthday!
