One month before Jamie Lynne’s 10th birthday, a new restaurant opened in her neighborhood. Its name was “FUNTIME”. Jamie Lynne and her parents went for lunch at the place, and they liked what they ate and saw: “FUNTIME” had a GAMES ROOM with all kinds of games and plenty of good food.But the BEST thing about it, according to Jamie Lynne, was “BUBBLES THE CLOWN.” “BUBBLES” performed many fun tricks, and made the most BEAUTIFUL balloon animals and flowers.

“Mom and Dad,” Jamie Lynne said, “THIS is where I want my birthday party to be. I LOVE BUBBLES THE CLOWN.”

“We like this place, too, Jamie Lynne. Okay, we’ll tell the “FUNTIME” people that we want your birthday party here.”

“Oh THANK you, Mom and Dad. I can’t wait until my friends come here for my birthday,” Jamie said to them. “They’re going to LOVE BUBBLES THE CLOWN too.”

Jamie went home and mailed out her party invitations. Then she crossed the days off on her wall calendar. She couldn’t WAIT for her special day.

Well, the days went by quickly, and, before she knew it, it was 2 days before her party. Jamie Lynne was SO EXCITED talking about the party to her friends that she didn’t see the rock on the sidewalk ahead of her. Jamie Lynne tripped over the rock and fell hard on her ankle. She let out a SCREAM when she fell, and her friends ran to find the school principal for help. Mr. Sheldon, the principal, ran over to her, and called her parents and then called for an ambulance.
