The Birthday

In Egon's place, he and his friends planned to celebrate his birthday on the field behind his house. Their voices of joy

echoed across the neighborhood and filled the air as they greet and begin to gather. The setting sun painted the sky

with the warm colors which created a scene of a beautiful golden glow between the leaves of the trees.

Two long wooden tables where connected which were covered with a long red and white table cloth, decorated with

vibrant props which it gave a charming grand feeling. It was clear that precise and detailed planning was worth it and

had gone into making this celebration that Egon can never forget. Above all, group of shimmering dim lights formed an

enchanting effect over the gathering. Balloons, chairs, and banners, even their clothes added bursts of color, truly

creating a fun party atmosphere.

The scent of delicious food flowed through the air, as a various spread of appetizing delights detailed the table. Pizzas

with gooey cheese, trays of candies and sweets that looks very bright, fruits like bananas apples in the center and the

sweet red strawberries around it and a fabulous two-story cake took center stage. The sound of sizzling on the

barbecue added to the symphony of scents.

As the evening unfolded, the group engaged in a myriad of activities. An unexpected game of charades brought forth

peals of laughter, and the competitive spirit of a friendly card game improved the amusement. The flickering flames of

the fire became the hot point for telling secrets and interesting facts about themselves, also for making marshmallows

on a stick, which created a close bond among the friends.

At last, the stars emerged in the clear sky, adding a blissful touch to the celebration. The good time merged with the

random sound of crackling wood from the fire which was beginning to burn out. His birthday was not just only a fun

activity with his friends but it was a pathway to become closer to them. Egon thanked his friends for coming to his

birthday and said goodbye to all of them and watched as his friends walked.
