Greg planned to open his antique store for the public
next week however, he was not happy with the display of
his most treasured possession, an antique box from China
Even though the box was beautiful, the way it was
displayed did not make him happy
Greg's face brightened when the bell at the door chimed
as Olivia and Brooke entered the store. He welcomed and
hugged them and started showing them the antique objects
on display He kept the Chinese box for last
The girls gasped when they saw the beautiful box. Greg
was very pleased when he saw that his granddaughters
shared his love for antiques. When they placed the box
back on the desk that displayed it. Greg conveyed his
doubts to his granddaughters about the placement of the
box
Olivia and Brooke assured him that the box looked
wonderful but Greg was still unsatisfied Just then the
telephone in the other room rang so he excused himself
and went to answer the call
Olivia and Brooke knew how important the antique store
was for their grandfather. They wanted him to be truly
happy so they decided to rearrange the box's display so
that their grandfather would be pleased. When Brooke
started moving the box around she had a brilliant idea of
placing some of the antique jewelry pieces in the box. The
girls successfully completed the task within minutes
