The kids huddled around the tiny bundt cake, sipping juice from their plastic cups.

A lone candle burned at the center of the cake. The kids were trying to figure out how they were going to get a decent piece of cake.

"Don't forget to sing! Happy birthday to you ..." Tommy's mom began.

The kids sang half-heartedly. When they finished. Billy grabbed the cake and broke off a piece for himself. The other kids did the same, and everyone got a piece ... except the birthday boy.

His eyes filled with tears. The doorbell rang.

It was the pizza delivery girl to save the day!

The kids cheered. Tommy got the first piece.
