1. When Mary and George opened their first bakery, they had to make sure that they had a few staples.
|
|
|
|
2. They invested in a special machine so that they could swipe customers' credit cards instead of typing in account numbers manually.
|
|
|
|
3. Every morning, Mary puts on an apron so that she won't stain her dress.
|
|
|
|
4. She always wears something with a colorful print, though, so that any accidental chocolate splatters won't show.
|
|
|
|
5. Mary is the one everyone chats with as she sets out the day's freshly baked goods.
|
|
|
|
6. Many people find George a little harder to talk to because he always seems cross.
|
|
|
|
7. He can be a tough boss, but most of the time he's really very sweet.
|
|
|
|
8. His pastries are so light that you'd almost swear they could fly away.
|
|
|
|
9. And his flourless chocolate cake is so dense you feel as if you're biting into a block of dark chocolate.
|
|
|
|
10. Mary and George have a bright future in the bakery business.
|
|
|
|
11. Unfortunately, their dog Cream Puff often gets in the way; she is just not very bright.
|
|
|
|
12. In fact, Cream Puff is absolutely dense.
|
|
|
|
13. For example, she once tried to swipe a cookie from the cooling rack.
|
|
|
|
14. She might have gotten away with this except that she left a trail of her paw prints leading right to her bed.
|
|
|
|
15. One Thanksgiving, while Mary was trying to dress the turkey, Cream Puff got into the kitchen twine and nearly choked herself.
|
|
|
|
16. Just last week, Cream Puff actually got some staples caught in her nose when she was sniffing around George's desk.
|
|
|
|
17. In her panic to get the staples out of her nose, Cream Puff accidentally knocked over Mary's antique tea set.
|
|
|
|
18. Now the dog is afraid to even cross the office doorway.
|
|
|
|
19. But she's still as silly as ever; she'll actually chase around a ray of light from a flashlight.
|
|
|
|
20. And she loves to chew on the tough sole of one of Mary's old slippers.
