"Well, he certainly is the finest toy in my little shop, but what good / does that do if I can't sell him? His wool is very soft, and he looks / so natural that I can almost hear him bark. But, oh dear! if I don't / sell him-or sell some of the toys soon-I can't pay my rent and I'll be / turned out! Oh, if my boy Jimmie would only come home from the sea with / the gold he said he'd bring to me!"
A sad-faced, poor, little, old lady moved slowly about a poor / little store on a side street. In the small show window were a few / notions-pins, needles and thread, and a few toys.
