The Missing Price Card
At the school market, Noah arranged jars of lemon butter in two neat rows. When the first customer arrived, the price card had disappeared. Noah checked under the cloth, beside the coins and behind the donation box. Finally he found it stuck to the bottom of the tray, held there by a drop of honey.
How Stall Signs Help
A clear stall sign tells shoppers what is for sale before they reach the table. Large letters, simple prices and a short description help people decide quickly. Bright colours can attract attention, but too many colours can make the sign hard to read.
