Describe a shop that you have seen in the
past
TITLE: The Little Sweet Shop
I was just about the age of five when I saw a
small shop was situated on the corner of a
narrow road. That shop was filled with the
aroma of delicious sweets. The pastries and
cakes would simply make my mouth water.
The countryside had just entered into the
spring season. The sun shined its rays
brightly on the narrow road. Colorful flowers
bloomed in the sun’s rays. The small shop
was surrounded by greenery and nature,
squirrels and chipmunks had been constant
companions of the old shopkeeper. A flock of
birds who seemed to be returning back from
the place they migrated to flew above the
little shop.
The narrow road was filled with people,
wearing old vintage clothes, who were
roaming here and there, some would get
clothes, some were going around for a stroll,
while others were eating food from the local
shops. On the side of the road, a little rat
scampered here and there, eating anything
and everything that would he found to be
edible. The rat quickly nibbled on the small
pieces of food that one would have
accidently dropped. One could hear the loud
chattering of the people. People were
bargaining with the street vendors, while the
shopkeepers were trying to sell the item for a
higher price. Although the street was full of
small shops, the little sweet shop, with its
sweet smell stood out the most.

I was just about the age of five when I saw a
small wooden shop that was situated on the
corner of a narrow road. The aroma of the
delicious delicacies was spread everywhere in
the little area. The sight of the pastries and cakes
enclosed behind the glass pane would make my
mouth water. The countryside had just entered
into the spring season. The sun shined its rays
brightly on the narrow road, while the colorful
inflorescences on the side road bloomed post the
first ray of the sun smiled at them . The small
shop was surrounded by greenery and nature,
squirrels and chipmunks had been constant
companions of the old shopkeeper. A flock of
birds who seemed to be returning back from the
place they migrated to flew above the little shop.

Although the street was full of small shops, the
little sweet shop, with its sweet smell stood out
the most. The beautiful blue walls with yellow-
tinted windows gave the shop an attractive and
creative look. There were dreamcatchers and
little sculptures which decorated the shop. The
shop had many types of colorful flowers and
plants outside it. A long creeper with blooming
pink flowers hung near the door.
As I stepped inside the shop, a faint chime heard
from the brass bell hung above welcomed me.
The blue colored walls were embellished by the
beautiful triangular patterns. many wooden
tables and chairs were placed in the little area,
which accommodated the people who came to
the shop. I ordered the classic chocolate pastry
which was beckoning me to eat it. I sat down on
the table which was situated on the corner of the
shop and patiently waited for my order.
The waiter, walked towards my table with the
delicious chocolate pastry in his hands. The
pastry was bought to my table and I caught a
whiff of the strong, sweet aroma of chocolate. I
took a big bite and put it in my mouth. The
chocolate melted in my mouth and the sweet
taste filled my mouth. My tastebuds were feeling
contented and satisfied. I gobbled up the pastry
like a hungry dog. After finishing everything up
and finally satisfying myself, I returned home
with these cherished memories that will stay with
me forever.
