The old curiosity shop

Once upon a time, an old man called John lived with his granddaughter Nelly in a small house in London. Below their house there was their shop where the grandfather worked. The shop was known as “The Old Curiosity Shop”.
Nelly was seven years old and she was a beautiful young girl. She had blond hair and big blue eyes. Her cheeks were soft like silk and pink like spring roses. She loved her grandfather who was very kind to her and did whatever he could to make her happy.
Although “The Old Curiosity Shop” was very small, we could find all kinds of games, books and toys there. But the problem was that they never had a customer. So they could not keep both, the house and the shop at the same time. Since the objects in the shop had to be clean and shiny, Nelly had to help her grandfather almost every day after school. Nelly dusted and cleaned the toys and the rest of the things with great care to make them colourful and attractive. Nevertheless nobody ever entered in the shop.
Grandfather: Nelly, I am worried because we are not selling anything; this month we have only sold some coloured pencils!
Nelly: Don’t worry, I am sure that soon things will change and we are going to sell a lot of things. ( she tried to encourage her grandfather)
