This is going to be the best birthday present, I think to myself as I pay for two tickets to a musical at the Sydney Opera House. As I look at the two tickets I notice a little hand painted, purple elephant on the front. 

When I walk into the house I am greeted by the soft sound of my daughter playing the violin. I walk in and sit on the chair in her bedroom to listen.

After she had finished I gave her the tickets. She looked up at me I could see she was very happy and excited.
