　　   One day, just before Christmas, we decided to stop working earlier because we had sold out all our meat, except one small turkey. When I was going to close the door, a woman rushed in and said that she wanted a big turkey. The manager tried to sell her the small one. “It’s too small.” She said. The manager said he would get another one and went to the back of the shop with the turkey. I went after him to see what he was going to do.
