– אוי, לענבל היה יום הולדת
בשבוע שעבר! שכחתי לגמרי!

– עשו לה מסיבת יום הולדת
בנמל תל אביב.
מסיבת הפתעה.

– לא הזמינו אותי?

– כנראה שגם אותך שכחו.

– Oy, Inbal had a birthday
last week! I totally forgot!

– They made her a birthday party
at the Tel Aviv Port.
A surprise party.

– They didn’t invite me?

– I guess they forgot you too.
