Buying a Kimono

[Saki]

A small girl, about the age of four, entered the kimono shop holding the hand of an elderly woman. The girl's hand slipped out of the woman's when they entered.

She immediately ran over to a stack of folded kimonos and pulled out the bottom one. "Saki-chan!" The woman said, worriedly. Saki dropped the kimono and hid behind another stack of kimonos.

"No Oba-chan..." Saki said, remaining hidden. The woman looked around and spotted Sachi, the shop owner. sitting behind the counter, working on a kimono.

"Oh I'm sorry about this. Saki doesn't normally do this, but it's the first time she's been to a kimono shop." Saki's aunt, apologized.

[Sachi]

Sachi looked up from the half finished kimono, at the two's entry. "It is quite all right. It happens to me everyday." She said, smiling at the little girl and her guardian. "Now.. What can I help you with?"

[Saki]

Saki took this moment to get out of trouble. She ran up to the counter but her head was hidden by the counter. "We came to buy kimonos!" Saki exclaimed, throwing her hands up into the air.
