    shop. Many a day my father and mother went to it for oil after school closed.
    The shop woman was very kind. She always gave a piece of a sweet cake to every child who went to the shop.
    The people of the locality bought half their wants at this shop. When Christmas came they always had a nice present to get from the country shop. They usually got one pound of tea, a half stone of sugar, two pounds of currants and a sweet cake.
    Nowadays the present they get is very small and easily carried.
