READING:

A father invited his family and friends to his daughter Rubi's 15th birthday party. His Facebook post went viral and 1.2 million people said they would come. He said they could all come. Everybody was invited. Many people might go to the party so there will be a lot of police officers.

A 15th birthday is important for a girl in Mexico. She has a party with many guests. She wears a beautiful dress and make-up. At Rubi's party, there will be music bands and a horse race. There is a joke online. It shows Donald Trump and Mexico's president saying Mexican migrants in the USA can go to Rubi's party.
