Happy Birthday

In the morning, a little boy and his mother congratulate the father on his birthday. The father receives a lighter shaped like a toy pistol as a gift. The dangerous‑looking “toy” attracts the child’s attention, and he becomes fascinated by the flame. The story serves as a cautionary tale, emphasising that children should never play with fire.
