Once upon a time, a little girl named Zara, who was about to turn 5, was sleeping and she had a wonderful dream about her birthday party filled with young kids, not adults.

When she woke up, she found that she didn't have any princess dresses.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. It was her friend Emily, who brought her a new mermaid dress.

Excitedly, Zara wore the mermaid dress and imagined herself swimming in the ocean.

Zara invited all her friends to her birthday party, telling them they didn't need fancy clothes to have fun.

On her special day, Zara blew out the candles on her cake, surrounded by smiling faces.

They played games, danced, and had lots of yummy treats.

Zara's mom took a photo of the joyful moment, capturing the happiness on Zara's face.

At the end of the party, Zara gave her friends little presents to thank them for making her day so special.

Zara's birthday party was the best one she had ever imagined, filled with laughter and friendship.
