Leah was hosting a surprise birthday party for her sister, Maria, who lived in another state. Maria liked to move to a different state every five years. Leah carefully arranged for her mother to pick Maria up from the airport and bring her over to Leah's house for what Maria thought would be a quiet dinner. Little did Maria know, though, that Leah had bought lots of different party foods and invited 20 of their relatives over to her house to surprise Maria.

On the day of the party, Maria arrived to a house full of loving faces and was surprised and grateful at the generosity of her sister.
