The Dora Doll Birthday Party

The theme for the party was Dora in India. Dora was her
favourite doll in the whole world, and she would get a
chance to dress up like her. So she insisted so much at
home that she finally got what she wanted.

Her mother called up her father and told him about the
party. She put down the phone and sighed sadly at
Lavanya.

“Your father agreed, Lavanya,” said her mother. She
wanted Lavanya to understand why they were not sure
about letting her go for parties yet. Her father would also
have to pay for her expensive gifts to her friend and her
costume, which she would probably wear once and hang
in her cupboard.

Lavanya barely saw her mother’s face. She clapped her
hands and danced in joy. She was so happy that she did
not notice that her mother was sad.

She wanted her mother to take her to the market
immediately to buy a costume for the party. Once they
were at the store, she wanted all the dresses she saw.

At home, she cried that she had to choose from only three
dresses her mother had got for her. It was after her dad
gave her chocolates and promised that he would buy her
more dresses that she finally chose one to wear. She
quickly picked up the new Dora doll she had bought for
