“No, I think you should give her the gift that would make her ‘the

happiest’,” said the spider.
“Oh, what would make her happiest?” Nikini thought and thought.

“Something like a delicious cake, a lovely birthday card, a nice pair
of shoes, a colorful dress ?” Nikini thought for a while.

“Oh, a beautiful sari!! I think she would like a beautiful sari most. I
want to give her the most beautiful sari in the world. I want to find

the most beautiful sari for her. And I want to give it to her as she
wakes up in the morning and say, “Happy birthday!” But how can I

find it? There’s only a little time left, until morning,” Nikini said,
impatiently.

“Nikini, you are a great daughter who thinks so much about her

mother. Some children don’t even care about their mother’s birthday.
They remember about their own birthdays and gifts only. So I will

weave a very beautiful sari for you,” said the spider and she started
weaving a beautiful sari.

Nikini was very tired after walking all over the woods and not

sleeping the whole night. But she was so happy that she didn’t feel
sleepy at all. She helped the spider weave the most beautiful sari for

her mother.
The firefly flew far away and brought back beautiful flowers to

decorate it. The rabbit ran around the woods and brought beautiful
colors from flowers, to paint the sari with. The mynah bird shook

the branches of trees and they shed dewdrops on it.
