Donna was excited. She had a new toy. It had quickly become her favorite toy. It was a deck of cards. Her uncle Josh had given it to her. He had shown her how to do card tricks. And he taught her how to play other fun games like "Go Fish." Donna wanted to teach her friends about cards. She wanted to show them the magic tricks she learned. Her favorite trick was to have people pick a card out of the stack. But Donna wouldn't look at the card. Then Donna would guess what card they had picked. She did this with several of her friends. They were amazed. She promised to teach them the secret. Then they could show their own families. Donna never knew an ordinary deck of cards could be so entertaining.
