The old shop on Taini's street was closed all year. The windows were dusty. A sign on the door said "Closed."
泰妮那条街上的老店铺整整一年都关着门。窗户上积满灰尘。门上的牌子写着“已关门”。
Taini passed the shop every day on her way home. She never looked at it. Then one evening, she saw a light inside. The next night, the light was there again. It was there every night.
泰妮每天回家都路过那家店。她从来不看它。后来有一天傍晚，她看见里面有一盏灯。第二天晚上，灯又亮着。每天晚上都亮着。
"Is someone in the old shop?" she asked her neighbor.
“那家老店里有人吗？”她问邻居。
"I do not know," her neighbor said. "The door is always locked."
“我不知道，”邻居说，“门总是锁着的。”
This was very strange. Taini thought about the light at work. She thought about it at dinner.
这很奇怪。泰妮上班时想着那盏灯。吃晚饭时也想着它。
On Thursday evening, she stopped at the window. She cleaned the glass with her sleeve and looked inside.
周四傍晚，她在窗前停下来。她用袖子擦干净玻璃，往里看。
A man stood in the shop with a big brush. He had white paint on his shirt. The walls were bright and clean.
一个男人站在店里，手里拿着一把大刷子。他的衬衫上沾着白色油漆。墙壁明亮干净。
Taini knocked on the glass. The man opened the door.
泰妮敲了敲玻璃。男人打开了门。
"Hello," he said. "Did I scare you?"
“你好，”他说，“我吓到你了吗？”
"I see your light every night," Taini said.
“我每天晚上都看见你的灯，”泰妮说。
"I work here after my day job," he said. "This shop is my new bakery."
“我下了班后在这里干活，”他说，“这家店将是我的新面包店。”
"A bakery!" Taini said.
“面包店！”泰妮说。
"Yes. Come on the first day. The first bread is for you."
“是的。开张第一天来吧。第一块面包是给你的。”
"Then I am first in line," Taini said.
“那我就排第一个了，”泰妮说。
