Cynthia’s Cat

Little Booth came to the place where the candy was placed with red cheeks. He had been observing the beautiful rainbow-colored candy outside the window for a long time. He held the candy tightly in his arms as if it were a treasure.

Little Booth happily walked to the counter with the candy, handed all the coins on his body to the cashier, and waited for the checkout.

The cashier looked at Little Booth with a professional smile, "Sorry! My kid, this candy is still 20 cents short."

How can it be? Little Booth looked at the cashier suspiciously. All the coins on his body totaled 1 Euro. How could it be 20 Euro cents?

Little Booth said with some confusion: "What's going on? Isn't the price of candy 1 Euro?"

The cashier was actually a little impatient in his heart, but he continued to smile and said: "The price of this rainbow candy is 1.2 euros, kid, you are still 20 euro cents."

Little Booth's voice was a little shocked, and his eyes were a little red and said: "How is it possible? Wasn't it 1 euro a few months ago?"

The cashier put away his professional smirk and looked at Little Booth indifferently. He hated this kind of difficult child the most, but he still explained the reason for the price increase.

"This rainbow-colored candy has always been very popular. Its price has always been 1.2 euros. A few months ago, it was due to an event in the store. All of it was reduced to 1 euro. Now that the event is over, the price will naturally resume."

Little Booth's cheeks turned pale. How could this happen? The price of rainbow-colored candies has gone up. There are no extra coins on him. Mom's birthday gift is gone.

He knew at a glance that the little boy couldn't afford candy. Looking at the little boy with red and swollen eyes in front of him, the cashier was a little helpless. If it hadn't been for this shop had just opened, he wouldn't talk nonsense with a kid.

Seeing the new customers coming in the store, the salesperson changed his career and smiled at Little Booth and said, "Is there anything else I need? If not, I need to receive the next customer."

Little Booth saw the people lined up behind to check out, hurriedly picked up the coins on the business counter, and quickly moved aside, so that the people behind him could check out.

Little Booth squatted on the steps next to the entrance of the candy store, feeling very disappointed. The coins in his hand are no longer enough to buy rainbow candies. What about mom’s birthday present? He has been "favoring" this candy for a long time. Why does God always like to joke with him?

Now there are a lot of customers in the store. Little Booth looked at the other children in the store with envious eyes. They were brought by parents to buy sweets. So happy! It would be great if my parents came to the candy house with me.

Little Booth has been sitting on the steps in front of the store, watching different customers come in and out of the store, the only thing in common is that they all have happy smiles on their faces.

As night fell gradually, the street lights on the street were lit up one after another, as if they were guiding the way home. At last, there were fewer customers in the store, and Booth plucked up the courage to enter the store again.

When Little Booth got up, because he had been sitting on the steps for too long, his legs were sore and he was a little trembling when he walked.

Little Booth came to the cashier slowly, and said timidly: "Sorry!!! Excuse me, please... Excuse me, is there any candy with a price similar to this rainbow candy for 1 Euro?"

The cashier took a look, isn't this the little boy in the morning? Why didn't he leave, and said in a bad mood after a day of work: "No! No! Go...Go, go!!! Leave if I can't afford it, don't delay my getting off work."
