Bubi woke up on what was supposed to be a joyful day—his birthday! 🎉 He stretched his little legs, wiggled his tail, and bounded out of bed, ready to bask in the love and attention that birthdays usually brought. But as he trotted around the house, a strange silence filled the air.
The usual morning hustle was absent, and no one seemed to notice that it was his special day. Bubi wandered into the kitchen, where his human usually prepared a treat for him on his birthday. Instead, he found only an empty bowl and the sound of a clock ticking in the background. His heart felt heavy with disappointment.
He sat by the door, waiting and hoping that someone would come in and shout, “Happy Birthday, Bubi!” But as the minutes turned into hours, his excitement turned to sorrow. His tail, once wagging with joy, drooped sadly as he watched the world outside.
Just when he thought about giving up hope, his best friend, Gin, bounded through the door. “Hey, Bubi! Why do you look so sad?” she asked, her big, bright eyes full of concern.
“I don’t think anyone remembers my birthday,” Bubi sighed, feeling tears welling up in his eyes. “I thought today would be different.”
