May's birthday was on a Sunday. She woke up and said, "I can't wait to open my birthday presents!" She began opening the presents. She got a lot of nice gifts, but there was no kitten. May wanted a gray kitten.

She named it Ray. But she could not obtain a kitten for her birthday. May's mom explained that you can't put a kitten in a birthday bag. "Well, maybe I can still get a kitten today?" asked May.

"Remain here," said her mom, who then went away down the hallway. A few minutes later, you could hear a tiny wail. It was the sound of a small gray kitten! It was Ray! Mom had him hidden away as a birthday surprise for May!
