Then,I went to Sandy's home to make the card with her. Sandy is good at creating $\underline{3}$ (paint). She even had her own $\underline{4}$ (exhibit) once. She taught me how to draw rabbits. We had much fun $\underline{5}$ (make) the card.
When I was finishing the last rabbit,Sandy closed her eyes and said,"Now,let's say 'Happy birthday' together!" Then I opened the card $\underline{6}$ (quick). I saw the rabbits "jump" out of $\underline{7}$ card. It was a "pop-up" card! I didn't know Sandy could make it so perfect $\underline{8}$ first. How amazing!
At last,I wrote "Happy birthday, Max! I'm $\underline{9}$ (luck) to have a friend like you!" on the card.
The next day,Max got the card and $\underline{10}$ (say) excitedly,"This is the best card I've ever had! I'll keep it forever."
Oh,what a happy day! My friend liked my card. $\underline{11}$ I hope he'll like the rabbits too!
