Marty would turn eleven in just three days.
Marty's parents wanted to give him a surprise. They talked about the list of gifts one night after Marty went to sleep. Dad said, "I think Marty will just get tired of the basketball, and he doesn't like taking pictures." Mom said, "We just bought him a new bicycle last Christmas."
"I think we should get Marty the telescope," said Dad, "he's so interested in space and the planets."
"Sounds good," said Mom.
Dad stopped by a store the next day after work and picked out a telescope. He waited until Marty was asleep and brought the telescope from his car into the house.
"Wow! This is wonderful," said Marty's mom, "now where are we going to hide it until Sunday?"
"Why not put it in the study? Marty won't find it there."
Sunday morning came. Marty was so excited about his birthday, He ran into the kitchen, but didn't see anything special as usual. "Happy birthday!" said his mom and dad from the next room. Marty looked confused. Dad told Marty to follow him to the study. "This is fantastic!" yelled Marty, "I was hoping for the telescope myself, too. Thanks so much for knowing me so well." "You're welcome," said Mom and Dad. That night, Marty saw many beautiful stars and even the planet Mars.
