Happy Birthday Gally

Gally is turning 6 today. As it's also my daughter's birthday, a large contingent of children and adults approach the gate with carrots and helium balloons. Gally's suspicion of the balloons wanes as he savours the carrots. I don't think he cares too much about the "Happy Birthday" song though. Oh well. Then one of the balloons moves unexpectedly and Gally gallops off to hide behind Crownie. Maybe this isn't the best preparation for an ODE?
