I got up not so early as usual. When I opened my eyes I saw my parents standing near my bed with presents. My father gave me beautiful white and pink tulips. My mother gave me a nice dress and a cmputer game I wanted to have. Then we had our breakfast. Every year on the 8 th of March my father cooked not only breakfast but baked a big holiday cake for us.
