Once upon a time in a small village, there was a famous baker named Mr. Thompson. Every morning, he would wake up before dawn and begin making fresh bread. First, he would knead the dough, which took about an hour. After that, he would let the dough rise while he prepared his other pastries. Once the dough had risen, he shaped it into loaves and placed them in the oven. By the time the sun was up, the delightful smell of crusty bread filled the entire village. The villagers looked forward to buying their fresh bread every morning from Mr. Thompson's bakery.
One day, while Mr. Thompson was baking, a little girl named Lucy came into the shop. She watched as he worked and asked if she could help. Mr. Thompson smiled and showed her how to sprinkle flour on the counter. Together, they made a batch of sweet rolls. When they were finished baking, Mr. Thompson let Lucy take a few rolls home with her to share with her family.
At the end of the day, Mr. Thompson cleaned up his bakery, counting the leftover bread and pastries. He closed his shop, feeling happy about the day’s work as he headed home.
