Greg waited impatiently in his antique store for his granddaughters, Brooke and Olivia, to arrive. His granddaughters were visiting his store for the first time. All his life, Greg had collected and cherished antique objects. Now, after all these years, he had decided to turn his hobby into a profession.
Greg planned to open his antique store for the public next week; however, he was not happy with the display of his most treasured possession, an antique box from China. Even though the box was beautiful, the way it was displayed did not make him happy.
Greg's face brightened when the bell at the door chimed as Olivia and Brooke entered the store. He welcomed and hugged them and started showing them the antique objects on display. He kept the Chinese box for last.
The girls gasped when they saw the beautiful box. Greg was very pleased when he saw that his granddaughters shared his love for antiques. When they placed the box back on the desk that displayed it, Greg conveyed his doubts to his granddaughters about the placement of the box.
Olivia and Brooke assured him that the box looked wonderful, but Greg was still unsatisfied. Just then, the telephone in the other room rang, so he excused himself and went to answer the call.
Olivia and Brooke knew how important the antique store was for their grandfather. They wanted him to be truly happy, so they decided to rearrange the box's display so that their grandfather would be pleased. When Brooke started moving the box around, she had a brilliant idea of placing some of the antique jewelry pieces in the box. The girls successfully completed the task within minutes.
They were nervous when Greg reentered the store. Greg was filled with immense happiness and pride when he saw the box, and he told them that the store finally looked perfect.
