The Little Bread Shop That Learned to Wait

Mia opened a small bread shop near her school last spring.

She wanted to sell fresh bread to students every morning.

On the first day, she baked eighty loaves before six o'clock.

But only twelve students came, so most of the bread stayed on the shelf.

Mia felt sad and did not know what to do.

Her father told her to watch the street and count the people.

After one week, she saw that buses came at seven thirty.

So she baked only thirty loaves at eight o'clock.

Now the bread is warm and fresh, and nothing is wasted.
