A Small Box

You sit down across from your parents, the three of you express pleasantries and then your mum moves the small box over to you and says, "Happy Birthday."

You smile and take the small box, you take the lid off and inside are a few keys. You look up and frown.

"Come with us?" You dad says as he and your mum stand up and head outside, the moring sun hits you hard as its beginning to get hot. You parents stop by a brand new Orange Ford Fiesta.

"Is this for me?" You ask in astonishment. You dad nods. "Oh my God thank you so much." You look inside and it has everything all the extras, like leather seats, on-board computer, Sat Nav, the lot.

"That's not all," your mum says. "Inside the Sat-Nav is set to an address, that address is now your house, thats what the other key is in the box."

"What." You say in total shock.

"Well now you are eighteen we feel as though you should have your own place, so we bought you a house." Your dad says.

You run over to them kiss and hug them both and say, "Thank You so much."

You get straight in the car and turn it on, the Sat-Nav it tells you that it will take twenty minutes to get to your new house.

Just before you drive out of the driveway, your dad shouts, "Oh and John there will be some more surprises as well." And then he winks at you. You then drive on.

After about twenty minutes of driving you turn the car down a new development street that has had houses just made brand new. You slow down to look how nice they are. One in particular looks lovely, not to big and not too small.

All of a sudden your Sat-Nav tells you that you've reached your destination. You get out of the car and head to the front door of the house and put the key from the box in.

It works, so you walk in and the whole house is furnished with everything you like. A new TV with PS4 and XBOX ONE. You go upstairs there are a few bedrooms a bathroom and then a massive bedroom that you guess is yours.

For the next few hours you spend time in your new home discovering new things but after a while the novelty of the whole thing wears off. You are sitting on your sofa.
