A Gift for Jyomo
"Happy birthday, Urgen!" Urmu says to her sister. "I am so excited to see my friends today," Urgen says.
Asyang and Jyomo arrive.
Jyomo hands Urgen a present. She sees a big object above her.
"Mhemhe, what is that?" Jyomo asks.
"Aangi, is that a nanglo?" Jyomo asks.
"Is that a plate?" Jyomo asks.
"Urgen, what is that on the wall?" Jyomo asks.
It is time to go. Jyomo reminds everyone about her birthday party on Sunday.
"Jyomo asked me about the object on the wall," Urmu says. "I completely forgot to answer her."
"Why don't we give it to her when it is her birthday?" Urgen says.
