A few months　 57　 , it was her birthday. I got a special scarf for her. Thinking about how happy she would be to receive my gift made me so　 58 .

I asked her when her birthday party was going to be. She replied, "　 59　 do you want to know? You're not invited. You're just a dog with glasses !"

I felt really　 60　 when she said that. I just stood there looking at her. Everyone standing by her came to stand next to me. Then we all 　 61 .
