KROSH: Hedgehog, it is Nusha's birthday today. Why ARE you SITTING at home? What ARE you DOING?
HEDGEHOG: I AM THINKING about a present to Nusha. I DON`T KNOW what to give her. I HAVE NOT CHOSEN yet. Maybe, I WILL GIVE her a cactus. 
KROSH: Yesterday you SHOWED me a big collection of cactuses. Why not to take one of them?
HEDGEHOG: I HAVE BEEN HAVING this collection for many years. And I LIKE all of my plants very much. 
KROSH: Let's go to the desert and find a new one.

The friends went to the desert. They SAW many cactuses, but Hedgehog DIDN`T LIKE them. At last he CRIED : "I HAVE FOUND a cactus with a very beautiful flower. I think, Nusha WILL LIKE it." They TOOK the cactus and WENT back. Their way WAS really difficult. 

HEDGEHOG: Krosh, I think, we LOST our way. 
KROSH: It IS so sad. Our friends ARE CELEBRATING Nusha's birthday now, and we ARE STANDING in the middle of the sand.
HEDGEHOG: Look! A balloon IS FLYING in the sky. It says "Happy birthday". Let's go after the balloon.

At last they CAME to Nusha's house. Everybody WAS very happy.
