Continued....

Note: Minus the exaggeration, whatever else said is true.

A few days passed before Amah made her way back to the Thrift Shop. However, the joy that once welcomed her was replaced by sheer shock. If a stethoscope was at hand, I'm sure we could have heard her heart stop. The sight that greeted her was simply depressing. The jeans rack where Amah bought all of her children's fashionable jeans was EMPTY!! The shoe rack where Amah prided herself in calling it her own "VINCCI" shop was also EMPTY!! And to think that these racks were filled with things just a few days back.

Amah courageously worked her way into the shop, glancing sadly at the empty racks that once filled fashion life with joy and happiness. As she browsed through what was left on the clothes rack, she couldn't help but think of all the shoes and jeans that she could have had. But then, luck was once again on her side when she found the store room. With its door open and no one at guard, she peeked into the room.

And to her great JOY........there, in the store room, from the floor to the ceiling, was heaps and heaps of clothes and bags. I'd bet that given the chance, she would have locked herself in the room so that she could have the first look at all the new things. However, thinking once again of her pride and respect as a loyal customer (she would rather be thought of as a charity-giver), she left the shop, not empty handed mind you, with the hope that, the next time she went there, the things she found in the store room would be on show.

In regard to last entry regarding the "HELP FULFILL AMAH'S WISH - TO BUY THE THRIFT SHOP FOUNDATION", I would hereby like to notify that the foundation has been closed. It is a great pleasure to announce that the funds once needed are no more a necessity. This e-mail and other future e-mails are written purely for humour and comedy.
