Read the story and answer the question.

John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich in England, was famous for gambling. He often spent long hours at the card table. History says that he didn’t want to stop playing to eat, so he ordered meat put between two slices of bread so that he could have a meal and continue with the game. His official biographer says that he invented the sandwich not to keep gambling, but to keep from being interrupted while carrying out his devoted service to his community and country.

Who said that the Earl of Sandwich invented the sandwich so that he could keep working, not so that he could keep gambling?

An astronomer used to go out every night to observe stars. Often, he would be seen with a telescope in one hand and a notebook in the other. One evening, while he wandered through the suburbs with his attention fixed on the sky, he accidentally fell into a deep uncovered well. He cried out loudly for help. As he waited to be rescued, he moaned and howled about his sores and bruises. His neighbor was passing by and happened to hear his wailing and weeping. He quickly helped him out of the well. After he came to know how the accident happened, this is what he said to the astronomer: “Hark you old fellow, why in striving to pry into heaven, do you not manage to see what is on earth?”
Who is telling this story?

Today is a special day. It's Jake's birthday, and I am excited about the party. Mom helped me pick a cool toy car as a gift. She wrapped it in shiny blue paper.

Mom and I drove to Jake's house. I handed the gift to Jake's mom when we arrived. Inside, the house was full of decorations, balloons, and fun games, like pin the tail on the donkey. I joined in the games. I played with friends and had a great time. There was even a magic show.

Jake opened his presents. He loved the toy car. Then, we ate cake and ice cream. We each got a goodie bag with candies and stickers. When the party was over, I thanked Jake's mom and told Jake goodbye. As I waved goodbye, I was still thinking about how much fun birthdays are with friends. I couldn’t wait to share stories from the party.

On the way home, mom asked, "What was your favorite part of the party, Tommy?” I said I liked the magic show, playing with the toy car, and the magic show was the best. Birthday parties are fun. Kids like them.

When I got home, I told the rest of my family all about the games, the magic show, and the birthday cake. Mom smiled and said, "It sounds like Jake had the best birthday!"

That night, I sat down to draw a picture of the birthday party. It was 9:00 p.m. I planned to give the drawing to Jake as a special thank-you card. I thought about how much fun it would be to have a magic show at my own birthday party someday.

The next day at school, I handed the drawing to Jake with a big smile. Jake's eyes lit up with joy! He gave me a high-five. After school, Jake ran to show the drawing to all our friends. He thought the drawing was perfect to show his special day.

How did Jake react when Tommy gave him the drawing of the birthday party?
