FATHER’S DAY

Last week Nancy and Tom bought presents for Father’s Day. They hid them so that their father couldn’t see them. Today, they want to surprise him with the presents.

Their father is sitting on the patio when they give him their presents. He is surprised and pleased to see the presents.

Nancy is giving him a portable radio and Tom an electric shaver. They both say:

“Happy Father’s Day, Dad,” as they hand him their gifts.
