"Two more days!", thought Lisi happily. "Two more days to my birthday."
Lisi was almost seven years old. Monday was her birthday and she couldn`t wait. Today was only Saturday. Two days can be a long time if you are almost seven.
Lisi lived in a lovely yellow house with her Mother and Father; her younger brother, Andrew, and Tom, her Puppy.
"Lisi", said Father, "We are going to hang new wallpaper in your room. I have found some very nice blue-stripped wallpaper in the attic and your room does need to redecorating."
"I don`t like blue!" Lisi pouted. When you are a girl who is almost seven, you want pink wallpaper, not blue. Everyone knows that.
"Lisi!" scolded Mother. "Don`t be like that. You should be glad your room is getting redone."
"Yes," Father said. "I would be very happy to have such nice wallpaper in my room. I have arranged for Nelson to to come by and put it up as soon as he can."
"I don`t care what they say," thought Lisi, "I hate blue wallpaper. I want pink!"
