I shall make you the best potato soup a mother has ever made for her daughter. And I have a present for you. A surprise. A surprise, I said. Of course she laughed. You could hardly have a birthday without a surprise, can you? And I promise you, it'll be the biggest surprise you have ever had. Tio, it is outside in the garden.

I pushed him out of the way I could see it was still snowing outside, but at first I could see very little else. By now, Carly had rushed to the back door and opened it. There is an elephant in the garden. Muti, he cried. Why is there an elephant in our garden? Then I saw her, too. A huge shadow that moved and became an elephant as it came towards me into the light from the window. ButI had her arms around me and was kissing the top of my head. My secret.
