Annabelle Linton watched them all crying and said with a smile, "What is everyone doing? I'm here now, aren't I? How can you cry on your birthday?"
The director saw this and said kindly to the children, "Everyone, don't cry. Annabelle has her own life and has to go to work. Even though she couldn't visit for a while, she was always thinking of you all. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come today. So, little ones, please stop crying. If you don't, you'll make Annabelle sad, understand?"
The children immediately stopped crying. They hugged Annabelle Linton and started apologizing.
"We're sorry, Annabelle. We didn't mean to. We just missed you so much."
"Annabelle, please don't be mad, okay?" said Holly. "You can have my candy. Please don't abandon us, okay?"
