Emily likes listening to music on her portable music player, but her father always listens to music on his radio. Her father says he likes the radio because it plays many different songs. Emily thought her music player was better because the radio played too many songs she didn't know. Yesterday was Emily's fourteenth birthday and she had a party at her house. During the party, her father looked at his watch and turned on his radio. Emily was very surprised when she heard a voice on the adio. "Next, we have a message to Emily from her father. 'Happy birthday, Emily. I love you.' And your father requested your favorite song for you. Happy birthday!" Emily was happy to hear the message and the song. She thought it was something that her music player couldn't do.
