Bill and Ben are brothers. Bill is eleven years old. And Ben is six years old. Today is Bill’s birthday. The family sing the song “Happy Birthday”. Mum has a gift for Bill. It is a sweater. It is yellow. It is a wool sweater, so it is warm and soft. It fits Bill very well. Bill likes his birthday gift.

Ben wants a new sweater too. Bill has a good idea. He puts the sweater in warm water, and then puts it under the sun. The sun makes the sweater dry. The sweater is small and short now. It fits Ben well.

Now it is Ben’s sweater!
