The bakery on my street
There is a small bakery on my street. An old man and his daughter run it. The bakery opens at six, and there is always a long line outside the door. I usually buy a loaf of bread and an apple pie. The pie is the best in the city, but it is a bit expensive. On Fridays, the old man gives me a free cookie. "For the student who comes every day," he says with a smile. I don't usually eat sugar in the morning, but I always eat the cookie on the bus to school. Life is better with good bread and kind neighbors.
