Gabby Goes “Shopping”

Gabby carries one handbag in one hand and some “money” in another. She is going “shopping.” She comes to a “store,” in which Mommy and Rebecca are busy setting up the items.

Gabby: Ding-dong.
Mommy: The store is not open yet.

Gabby waits outside of the "store" very patiently. A few minutes later, the “store” is open. Gabby walks in. The “store” sells all kinds of things: toys, foods, books, pets. All the items have a price tag.

Mommy: Welcome to our store! What do you want to buy?
Gabby: I want that ball?
Mommy: How much is it?
Gabby (reading the price tag): Two dollars.
Mommy: Give me two dollars.

Gabby gave Mommy two “dollar bills,” and Mommy handed her the ball. Rebecca helped Mommy to put the money into the cashier register.

Mommy: What do you want to buy?
Gabby: I want that car?
……

Very soon Gabby bought all the toys. Then she began to buy foods. She bought all the vegetables, fishes and eggs.

Rebecca: Will she buy all the things in our “store?”
Mommy: Probably. She has a lot of "money."

But Gabby doesn’t buy everything in the “store.” She buys a book and then she wants to leave.

Mommy: Thank you for shopping with us. See you next time!

Mommy plans someday she and Rebecca will open a “shopping mall," which will consists of a few stores. Each store will be in a different room. Gabby will love it!
