ریدینگ Reading 25 Tenth Birthday

Dorothy will be ten years old next month. She is excited. Ten years old is very old.

She will not be a little kid anymore. A nine-year-old kid is just a little kid. A ten-

year-old kid is almost an adult. Nine is only one number, but 10 is two numbers.

Nine is a little kid number, but 10 is an adult number. When she is ten, she will be

an adult almost. She will be a young woman. She will wear lipstick. She will wear

nail polish. She will have a boyfriend. He will be handsome and polite. He will

open doors for her. He will buy her birthday presents. Dorothy can’t wait until next

month.
