“Oh, Benny, I’m so excited. Yes, I’m ready. Why? Don’t you think I’m ready? Do you think they’ll like my stall? No, I’m not nervous. I just want everyone to be happy today. I wonder what will sell first. The Pick-a-Pearl? I don’t know. The Momi Anuenue Souvenir Jars are awfully cute. And I only have one pink one with me. But maybe everyone will want the other colors. What? I think I have enough of those. I brought all the Seashell ID books we had, and I do have the new Shells Flash Cards. Do you think people will like them? Wait, don’t go yet! Are you bringing lunch, or is Janie coming by to help? Oh, thank you. No, I’m not nervous. I just want you to be proud of your sister, and I’m so excited! Just think, it’s like a Grand Opening for ‘Nanea’s Pearl Stall’. [Giggle] That’s silly. It is a Grand Opening! Look! They’re opening the gates, and a lot of people are heading this way. Ooh! [Hula Hula Jiggle] Aloha! Konnichiwa! (Bye, Benny! I love you! No, I won’t give it all away for free. I have to stop talking to you now and help my customers.) Hi! May I help you? Mmhmm, but we only have the one pink one . . .”
“It’s okay if you can’t buy it right now. You’ll always find the Pearl Stall open in Islandshire’s Etsy shop. And you’re welcome to browse all you want. Konnichiwa! May I help you? Yes, it is nice, isn’t it? I’m so glad you like my Stall. How many? Oh, I’m sure we can make that many for you by Saturday. Benny’s getting more pearls for me right now. He is a nice brother! What color would you like for the shell? Oh, pink? I’ll have to check when I get home. Have you noticed how beautiful the turquoise one is? Oh, only the pink . . .”
