Wonderful I Can Say Mama Armand Marseille Doll

After dinner, Emma's mother tells her she has a surprise for her for her seventh birthday. This is Emma's first birthday present. Usually birthdays come and go; presents are expensive and an extravagance that her family cannot afford. But this year is different. Her father worked for a man who was grateful for the work he did on the foundation of his house, so he gave him a large bonus. Told him to buy something for his little girl. As Emma picked up the box, it cried "Mama". Delighted and curious about what was inside, she torn open the box to find a doll. When she picked it up, turned it upside down and back again, it cried, "Mama". Emma gave her daddy a hug, her mommy a hug and gently held the doll. She has never had a present so grand. She carefully put the doll back in the box until a later time. This doll was a very special doll and she wanted to be very careful with her.
