Oscar Bloom was unhappy.It was his eighth birthday.All his friends were going to come over that evening.His little sister Samantha had made him the brightest bracelet.He had heard his dad whispering to his mom the day before about “picking up the little puppy”， and had a feeling that one of his presents might be a little dog that he had been wishing for ever since he was five.

So what was wrong？

Oscar was sad because there was one very， very， hugely important person who was missing today—his beloved Grandma Rose.Last year she fell ill and then one day she just wasn’t there.

“Grandma’s gone， but she still loves you very much，” mom explained.

“I miss Grandma Rose，”O(jiān)scar said.

“Well， Grandma has a present for you！”

A present from Grandma？ How？

Mom pressed play on the CD player， and Oscar heard his grandmother’s voice！

“My dear Oscar，”the recording began. “I’m sorry I can’t be there with you today to celebrate such an exciting day， but I’m with you in spirit. I’m with you all the time. As for your birthday present， I’d like to tell you about the day you were born， which was the very first day I met you.That was exactly eight years ago.What a tiny little thing you were back then！ The doctor hardly had time to pick you up before you started to make sounds！ Every doctor waited for the baby to cry to make sure the baby was healthy， but you， Oscar， you changed the rules on them.Your mother didn’t remember this because she was so tired， but I would never forget it.You opened your mouth， and you gave a little laugh！ That’s right， you laughed！ And only then did you open your mouth wider to start crying like all the rest of the babies in the hospital.I hope you remember this story for the rest of your life，young man.” Grandma Rose continued . “This is the beginning of your oral history！My present to you！”
