In a little village, in the countryside, there’s Mary’s food shop.

It’s a simple but special place.

There are two big windows and a small door. One window is square and one window is round.

This is Mary. She’s a fantastic cook.

She’s tall and thin.

She’s got brown hair and dark eyes.

This is Pauline, the shop assistant.

She’s short and fat.

She’s got blonde hair and blue eyes.

Today is Monday. Mary cooks a brown roasted chicken with yellow potatoes.

Pauline puts them on a big round plate.

Then she makes scrambled eggs and a green spinach cake.

Pauline puts them in the window, next to the chicken on a big square tray.

Then she cooks white fish and red tomatoes.

Pauline puts them under the spinach cake on a big square tray.

The square window is full of delicious food!

Wait a moment!

Something is missing... the dessert!
