One day, Nelly came from school earlier and started helping his grandfather to order a lot of books which were on the shelves.
Nelly: Grandpa, look at this book, I have never seen it before! It’s title is the same as our shop!
Grandfather: OH! OH! I have been working here for a long time and I don’t remember seeing this book before either!
Nelly , was very curious to read the book, because she wanted to know why the book had the same name as the shop. So she opened the book. The moment she did so everything in the shop came alive and started moving. Nelly’s eyes opened wide and stayed like that for a long time.
Nelly: Look, look grandpa! This book is magic! The moment I opened it, the books started speaking! The coloured pencils walking and the bicycles jumping!
Grandfather: Really? I can’t believe my eyes!
Nelly: This is a great opportunity to make money grandpa! Because everybody is interested in seeing a shop whose objects are alive. Grandpa, I told you things were going to change, now we will be rich because everybody wants to buy something from our shop!
Grandfather. OH! That is marvellous!
Both of them became very happy when they saw the crowd of people behind the shop window. When the grandfather saw that, he rushed to the door, opened it and said.
Grandfather: Come in! Come in! You can enter to see the shop! WELCOME to “The Old Curiosity Shop”!
Nelly and her grandfather were very pleased because everybody bought something from the shop and they made a lot of money.
