My name is [Astrid](PJ6YQG45), and guess what? Hooray! It's my birthday, let's go axe-shopping today!

We head to the market with daddy and mummy. We stop to get sweets for my tummy.

We arrive at the blacksmith's shop very quick. [Daddy](S763MX7D) says, 'Off you go [Astrid](PJ6YQG45), you get to pick.'

I lift up an axe, but I frown right away, 'This one is too small. Take it away!'

The blacksmith says, 'Try this one instead.' I hoist it up high, then shake my head.

Feeling quite tired, I sigh with a groan, 'I’ll never find an axe to call my own.'

Then suddenly, look! A chest made of gold. I lift up the lid, what a joy to behold!

This axe is just right, not too small or too tall. Not heavy, or blunt, or wobbly at all!

We head back home so mummy can bake. After a while, she brings out the cake.

I use my new axe to slice it 'beware!' The cake explodes and goes everywhere!
