department. Later I realized I forgot
to buy bread.

between the two passages?

details used in the second
passage?

Upon entering the grocery store, I headed directly
for the flower department, where I spotted yellow
tulips. As I tenderly rested the tulips in my rusty
shopping cart, I caught a whiff of minty dried
eucalyptus, so I added the fragrant forest green
bouquet of eucalyptus to my cart. While heading
for the meat department, I smelled the stench of
seafood, which made my appetite disappear. I
absently grabbed a bloody red hunk of NY Strip
and tossed it into my cart. Pushing my creaky
shopping cart to the checkout line, I heard an
employee announce that there was a special on
shrimp. On the ride home, I realized I had
forgotten to buy the crusty wheat bread I like so
much.
