China Plates

Lyca walks into her house and finds her sister Anne there. 

 

"Hey there Anne!"  cheers Lyca as she smiles.  "I am glad you found the spare key!"  she tells.

 

"Oh yes I recall where you had put the key;"  tells Anne as she smiles.  "I helped myself to some of your clothes -  hope you don't mind;"

 

"Get caught in the rain?"  asks Lyca.

 

"Yes!"  tells Anne as she smiles.

 

"Would you like to have a drink of tea?"  asks Lyca.

 

"Sure, two sugars!"  tells Anne.

 

 

Lyca goes to the kitchen to make some tea, however inside she realizes she has only milk!  Lyca moves to tell Anne the bad news when bang!  A loud crash is heard!

 

"What was that sound?"  asks Lyca before she moves to find Anne.

 

A few minutes later Lyca finds Anne in the dining room -  she has dropped a China plate.

 

"Oh my plate!"  gasps Lyca as she sees the mess of broken shards.  "That was an antique!"

 

"I am sorry;"  tells Anne as she looks at the mess.  "I was looking at it when it slipped out of my fingers;"  she tells.

 

Lyca shakes her head.

 

"I will never be able to find another one;" she broods.

 

"I will buy you a new one!"  exclaims Anne.  "I'll come back tomorrow with one!" 

 

 

The next day Anne goes to the store to buy Lyca a china plate.  However the china plates in the store are pricey, and so she goes to a second hand store but the plate there are chipped!

 

"I wish I could find Lyca a good quality china plate for cheap!"  tells Anne as she fiddles with her purse.  "Oh well, these ones will have to do!"  she exclaims.

 

 

Anne goes home to deliver Lyca the plates.  Lyca washes the plates, and then she carefully places then inside of her display case.

 

"Well they aren't new but they will have to do!"  tells Lyca before she hugs Anne.  "Thankyou for the plates!"  she smiles.

 

"I am glad you like them!"  tells Anne before her and Lyca move to have some lunch.
