Understanding the Word 'Extraordinary'

Medium Vocabulary In Context Determine Word Meaning

In a small town, there was a quaint little bakery known for its delicious pastries. Every morning, the sweet aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the streets, tempting passersby to stop in. The owner, Mrs. Flaherty, took great pride in her work and dedicated herself to perfecting her recipes. One day, she decided to add a new item to the menu: chocolate croissants. Excited about this new creation, she gathered all her ingredients and began mixing.

As she rolled the dough, her neighbor, Mr. Johnson, popped his head in. 'I've heard whispers of your new croissants, Mrs. Flaherty. They say they will be extraordinary!' he exclaimed.

Mrs. Flaherty smiled and replied, 'I hope they turn out well. I want to give the town something truly special.' With that, she carefully shaped the croissants, brushing them with melted butter to ensure they would be flaky. She placed them in the oven, praying they would rise perfectly.

A few minutes later, the bakery filled with the irresistible scent of chocolate and warm bread. When the croissants were finally ready, they emerged golden brown and glistening. Mrs. Flaherty’s heart swelled with pride. 'This will certainly delight my customers!' she thought.
