Nana and the New Corner Store

1For as long as Dev could remember, Nana had shopped at the little corner store on Maple Street. This spring, the store got a new owner named Ms. Kim. On Saturday, Dev and Nana walked over to see it.

2The walls were painted sunny yellow, and a smoothie counter sat by the window. Dev's eyes went wide. "Nana, look!" he cried. "They have mango smoothies! This is the best store ever!"

3Nana looked around slowly and frowned. "Where is the old wooden counter?" she asked softly. "And where are the jars of lemon candy?" She shook her head. "I liked this store better the way it was."

4Dev tugged her sleeve. "But now there is more room to walk," he said. "And the lights are so bright!" Nana sighed. "Bright is nice," she said, "but I miss the old store."

5Just then, Ms. Kim came out from the back with a big glass jar. "I saved the lemon candy jar," she said with a smile. "Would you like one?" Nana's face lit up. "Well," she said with a chuckle, "maybe this new store is not so bad after all."
