A memorable day in my life

I will never forget the day when my little sister was born. It was about 1:00 a.m and everybody had gone to bed. I

was 5years old then and I was sleeping in my bed. All of a sudden I heard my mother shouting. I immediately got out of bed

and opened my bedroom door. I saw my father talking on the phone while my mom was walking across the living room. He

asked my elder brother to get the car out of the garage. When my father saw me he told me it was ok and asked me to go

back to bed. After that, they all left and I stayed with my cousin who was visiting us that day. At around 3:00 a.m, my dad

called to say that I had a little sister! I was very happy! On the next day, we went to see them in hospital. When I entered the

room, I saw my mother lying on the bed and smiling. She put her hand on my head and hugged me. She then pointed to my

little sister who was sleeping soundly in a cradle by the bedside. I bent over and kissed her. She was really cute!
