nce there was a crocodile named Sid. Sid was happy because he was going to have a birthday that week. All his friends were coming over on Thursday afternoon for a party.

Now Sid isn't a mean crocodile like his big brother Tommy and Sid's twin brother Ed. Sid's friends were Gregg, Ryan, Charlie, Bobbie and Jack. They had a lot to do for Sid's party because Thursday was four more days away.

On Sunday they sat up the balloons and games and made the cake. Then they had a rest for the day.

On Monday afternoon they got the candy for the cake decoration. Then they sat the table up for the cake. Then they took a rest.

On Tuesday night they sat up the chairs and put up the sign that said,

"Happy Birthday Sid".

They made a present corner and took a rest.

On Wednesday they put the candles in the cake then they found a stick for hitting a pinata. Then they made invitations and gave them to the crocodiles that were coming to Sid's party.

On Thursday morning the crocodile children came to Sid's party and sat the presents in the present corner. At 12:00 they started the party. They had a lot of fun. Sid got one present each from all his friends.

After the party was done they cleaned up the mess and the house. That night Sid dreamed about his next party he will have.

The End
