This is a very touching story, @philomenob. It's so hard for kids when they don't have enough food, enough attention from their parents, and other problems. For the narrator of this story, it has all stacked up at once, including her friend not coming to school on her birthday. It's a relief when something good happens, and she gets a special meal!
