Once upon a time, in a cozy little house on Sunflower Street, there was a little girl named Zay. Zay had the brightest green eyes and curly brown hair. She loved all sorts of flowers and had a magical garden where she spent hours talking to her colorful friends: the roses, tulips, daisies, and sunflowers.

The next day was going to be very special. It was her best friend's birthday! Zay wanted to find the most beautiful flowers in her garden to give as a present. She skipped outside, where the sun was playing hide-and-seek with fluffy clouds. She picked the happiest flowers, all giggling as she tucked them gently into her basket.

Excited about the party, Zay rushed inside to pack her present—a box filled with stickers, a rainbow-colored pencil, and a little teddy bear wearing a party hat. But oops! She forgot about the flowers she had left on the kitchen table.

At the party, Zay's friend was very happy to see her. They hugged and laughed and shared stories. The birthday cake looked like a castle with tiny icing flags, and the popcorn was a mountain of buttery snow. They all sang the birthday song and watched Zay's friend blow out the candles.

After eating, they all went to a movie theater, where the screen was as big as a wall and the seats were like giant squishy marshmallows. They watched a movie about a superhero puppy, and everyone cheered when the puppy saved the day.

The party was over, and Zay came home, tired from all the fun. Then she saw them—the beautiful forgotten flowers on her table! 'Oh no,' Zay gasped. She felt a little sad but then had an idea. 'I can still give them to her!'.

Zay's parents smiled and said they could take her back to her friend's house. She jumped into the car, holding the flowers carefully. When her friend opened the door and saw the surprise, her eyes sparkled like stars. She gave Zay the biggest hug ever and put the flowers in her favorite vase.

Zay felt her heart swell with joy. 'Happy birthday, best friend!' she said. Her friend twirled around with the flowers, making everyone laugh. They were more than just flowers; they were a sign of their special friendship. And from that day on, Zay always remembered the joy of giving. The End.
