Lila and the Glass Lantern

1On Friday night, Lila and her dad walked to the night market. The street was bustling with people who hurried between the stalls and called out to their friends.

2At one stall, Lila saw an enormous pumpkin, so big that it needed a wheelbarrow to move it. A warm aroma drifted from the bakery, and Lila's nose followed the smell of fresh bread. Dad wanted a roll, but the baker had run out of them, so none were left to buy.

3Lila wanted to buy a glass lantern. The seller handed her one and said, "Hold it gently, because it is fragile and could break if you drop it." Lila carried it with both hands.

4On the walk home, Lila felt weary, and her eyes kept closing as she yawned and yawned. Dad smiled. "Tomorrow we can hang your lantern in the window," he said.
