Our Toy Shop
Hi, my name is Amy. I am twelve years old. We have a small toy shop in our
neighborhood. My father says Fridays are the busiest day in our toy shop. So after
school, my mom takes me there to help my dad. That's another reason why I like
Fridays. We allow kids to play with the toys when they are in the store. My father says I
am responsible for the toys and that I need to watch and make sure nothing breaks.
Many kids from my school and neighborhood also come to the shop to look at our new
toys. It is always noisy here. Because it’s full of babies and small children. Little girls
tend to go for dolls, boys go for cars. Some just want to play with the toys; some
actually want to buy them. It’s a bit tiring for me but I like going to the shop and
helping my father.
