My brother will turn 18 years old this month. I will buy him a gift for his birthday, but I won't be here. I'll be in Spain on holiday. I won't forget to call him from Spain to wish him happy birthday. What will I buy him for his birthday present? Perhaps I will buy him a gift in Spain. Maybe I will buy him some spices, although I won't be able to take spices on the airplane. I am a little sad that I won't be here for his birthday, but he won't care. He'll be too busy partying with his friends. I will be here for his next birthday, though. Next year I'll take him to a really nice restaurant so he won't be mad at me for not being here this year. What will you do for your birthday?
