Julia wanted Tom’s surprise to be simple: a chocolate , blue , and one big with the number eight. She checked everything in the afternoon, but she did not open the candle box.

Ten minutes before Tom came home, Julia discovered the problem. The big number eight was . In the box, there were only two small candles, a six and a two.

For a moment, Julia thought the cake looked wrong. Then her brother said, “Six plus two is eight.” Julia laughed and placed both candles in the middle of the cake.

When Tom entered the kitchen, everyone shouted, “Happy birthday!” He looked at the candles and began to laugh. “Six and two!” he said. “That makes eight!”

After dinner, Julia kept the empty candle box as a reminder. When Julia looked at the photo later, she smiled at the two strange birthday candles.
