It was a fine morning at Bonnie's house. The toys were setting up a surprise for Mr. Potato Head.
"Okay, guys. When he comes, jump and surprise him!", said Woody.
The toys nodded.
Suddenly, Woody heard Mr. Potato Head's footsteps.
"Oh! Here he comes! Hide!", Woody said and all the toys hid. Mr. Potato Head walked in and saw nothing but wrapped-up presents.
"Huh? What's all this?", Mr. Potato Head wondered out loud.
Suddenly, all the toys jumped out.
"SURPRISE!"
"Whoa!", Mr. Potato Head was startled and fell down.
"Oh, darling! Here, lemme help ya up," said Mrs. Potato Head as she helped up her husband.
"What's goin' on here?", asked Mr. Potato Head.
"Happy birthday, Mr. Potato Head!", everyone said.
This made a smile grow on his face.
"Thanks, fellas," said Mr. Potato Head.
"Time for your presents!", said Jessie.
Mr. Potato Head opened his first present.
"Oh, sweet! Another pair of angry eyes!"
He opened his second presents.
"Yet another pair of shoes! Thanks, Hamm!"
"No problem. Just be sure not to replace your angry eyes with them."
Mr. Potato Head laughed, remembering the time when he made that silly mistake. Then he opened his third present.
"Another hat!"
He opened his fourth present.
"A green cap!"
He opened his fifth and final presents.
"Oh, this might just be the best yet! Kissing lips!"
He put them on, grabbed his wife, and started kissing her on the cheek continously, making her giggle. Then Mr. Potato Head put his normal lips back on.
"Happy birthday, Mr. Potato Head!", everyone said as Mr. Potato Head grinned with happiness.
