Cassie the cheetah was speedy and slick, with spotted fur and a tail that would flick. She was turning five, oh what a delight, and she wanted a party that lasted all night!

She invited her friends, like Larry the Lion, and Terry the Toucan who kept on chirpin'. The music was booming, the beat was so fine, it made all the animals want to jump and shine!

They played fun games, like leapfrog and tag, and then they all gathered to bake a big cake. The aroma was sweet, the icing so neat, it made every tummy impatient to eat!

The candles were burning, their flames flickered bright, they sang a loud song that rose to the height. 'Hip hip hooray' they all shouted with glee, as Cassie made a wish, so happy and free!

As the sun went down, the party slowed down too, with yawns and soft snores, it was time to bid adieu. Cassie hugged her friends, so dear and so true, 'Best birthday ever!' she said, feeling warm and new.
