Listen to the story and answer the questions →Last Friday was Mila's fortieth birthday, but she thought that nobody remembered. Nobody called her in the morning, and her husband said he was working late.
In the evening, Mila was sitting alone at home and watching TV. She felt a bit sad. At eight o'clock, someone knocked on the door. When she opened it, twenty people shouted, "Surprise!"
Her husband wasn't working at all — he was organising the party with her friends! They brought food, music and a huge cake with forty candles. Mila laughed and cried at the same time. It was her best birthday ever.
