A true story...narrated by Leona.
Once there were 3 people who set off to town looking for a deal on bicycles. They pasted a big beach with white sand and weird trees with mysterious roots growing crazily amongst the sands. They took a stop at the local library in Ballina. Then their nanny came to help check out books, she took a long time.
Then we got a surprise! Our relative Maureen picked us up in her white car and took us to her house to view a potential bike for us, it fit mom the best. The bike is pink and we need to make sure the tires hold air. Then mommy took a ride to the Jack Ransom's cycle shop and the girls rode along the route. The store was a small shop on the corner. When we got to the shop we took the bike around back and discussed reasonable deals for rentals. The man was nice to his customers. Then we did research comparisons on new bike deals in the area. Maureen was great to drive us around everywhere. First we looked at Kmart and then we went to the Big W. We found new bikes at a good price. Then we walked to a cycle shop where a grumpy man with high prices was unwilling to negotiate. When we returned to the house we found out that nanny found a great bike for an awesome price and it would be ready soon. We walked a lot and had a great day, maybe next time we'll be pedaling on bicycles. That would be very nice. The end of my true story. LEONA LEONA LEONA LEONA LEONA
