This year, the neighbors and Dolores were invited to Andy’s barn for the unbirthday party.

Lucky Duck was the official greeter.

They played Pin the Tail on the Donkey, Musical Chairs, and Red Light, Green Light. They ate cupcakes with sprinkles.

Finally it was present time. Dolores gave Andy and Granny Webb a picture she had taken of the two of them. They gave her a jar of raspberry jam.

“Yum!” said Dolores.

Andy Shane opened his present from Granny. It was a new bike seat and horn.

Andy looked at Dolores.

Dolores looked at Andy.

“Let’s put them on your bike,” said Granny, looking around the barn.

“Open your present first!” Dolores cried.

Granny Webb opened her present. It was the binoculars case.

Andy looked at the wall for Granny’s binoculars. He wanted to show her how well they fit in the case. But they weren’t there.

Granny looked sheepish. “Andy Shane,” she said quietly, “I traded my binoculars with Kate at the bicycle shop — for a new bike seat.”

Andy laughed. “I traded my bike to the antique dealer for your binoculars case!”

“Wow,” said Dolores.

“Wow,” said the neighbors.

Andy laughed. “I guess that’s what happens when you have an unbirthday!”

“It is understandable!” said Granny.

“You’ll have to wait until your real birthday,” said Dolores.

“Unless,” said Andy, who was already thinking of a plan. . . .

The next day, Andy Shane and Granny Webb set up an apple stand. They sold lots of apples.

Then they went to a barn sale.
