Let us read

It was a holiday. The local market was full of people. The toy shop opened at 9 a.m. There were many toys like wooden toys, soft toys, board games, bats and balls and many others. All the toys in the toy shop were waiting to see who would buy them.

“Look there,” shouted the toy kitten. They saw two girls coming towards the shop.

But they passed by just looking at the toys through the windows.

“Oh, no!” exclaimed all the toys at once.

After some time, a girl and a little boy stopped at the door of the toy shop. Their father stopped too.

The girl pointed at the board games displayed in the shop. Finally, she chose the game ‘Snakes and Ladders’.

“Ohhhh”, sighed the toys together.

Next, they saw a woman and her son coming in. There was excitement in the shop among the toys.

A talking doll said, “It would be so nice if they pick me up.”

“I would be happy if they chose me,” thought the toy elephant.

“Namaste! How may I help you?” asked the toy shopkeeper.

“Namaste! I want to buy a toy for my son,” said the woman looking at the toys in the racks.

“Aayi! I want that Vande Bharat train,” said the little boy pointing to the toy train.

What do you call your mother?

Aayi bought the Vande Bharat toy train. The little boy was happy.

Then two girls came in.

The toys looked at them eagerly.

“Zooooooooooooooom! Friends! I think they would like to fly me,” said the aeroplane confidently.

“Trin … Trin …! I think they may like to play with me,” thought the toy phone.

One girl bought marbles and the other bought the toy aeroplane.

After a while, a group of children came into the toy shop.

“Wow! I like this toy elephant,” said the girl with long hair.

“I will take this spinning top,” said the boy with the red cap.

“I like these cute dancing dolls,” said the boy in the blue shirt.

The children bought the toys. They left the shop cheerfully.
