The Girl and the Ice Cream Shop
A short children’s story
There was once a little girl who had a loving mother.
They were poor but the mother made it a point to put healthy food on the table daily.
One day, when the girl was 10, her mother said, “You are now big enough to help me with some chores. You shall accompany me to the supermarket to carry the groceries.”
Together, they walked to the nearby supermarket.
When they arrived, the mother asked the girl to wait outside with the shopping trolley as she went in to pick up some groceries.
Now, this supermarket was not just any supermarket. It was a special supermarket.
It was located right beside the most luxurious ice cream shop in town.
The ice cream shop created the most indulgent and decadent ice cream bowls and catered to the richest, most pampered children in town.
The little girl was mesmerised. She stood outside the ice cream shop and peeked at the little girls and boys inside.
