Chapter 2: An Odd Find
It time for the Summer Festival and my next attempt to raise money to save the shop. I had a feeling this year would be better than most. Already shops were being set up and hundreds of people were waiting for the start of the festivities. I set up my table and my flower pots. Hopefully people were still interested in these small flowers. I also took out some seeds which I took from the shop and put them in a jar. Now all I needed to do was wait... I was getting tired and found myself resting on the table. Then a voice was heard in the loud speaker.
“Welcome, to the Summer Festival. Enjoy our unique festivities and our firework show later tonight.”
It had started, people rushed in to all the stalls and I was happy to find some young children looking around my stall. They were obviously from quite wealthy families and I saw a chance. I talked to them about growing plants and how to care for them. They listened intently. It seemed to work, their mothers were pestered for a good 10 minutes before agreeing to buy some seeds and a few pots. A good start, maybe I would raise enough after all. I was excited when I realised I only need a little more money to buy some good seeds and bring new life to the shop. Maybe I might even get to buy something for my teacher. Then I saw it, just lying there. It was a seed and a large one too. I picked it up. Such a magnificent colour, but who dropped it? I put it in my pocket quickly, just in case anyone else wanted it. More customers came and I sold the last of my seeds. It was time to relax. Just the perfect spot to watch the firework go off, how beautiful they were all the colours of the rainbow. I had done it, relief settled in. I made enough for at least five new seeds.
