Chapter One: Mr. Plum's Delight

Mr. Plum was an older man who lived South of Southampton, England. He owned a candy shop which he was known for. Candy Craze was the name. Everything at his shop was perfect until one day. One very dark and grim day. Mr. Plum sleeps on top of the candy shop because his house is connected to the shop. The reason was to hear if burglars had come to take his most famous candy, the Shinies. The Shinies were known for being strawberry, filled with lemon as well, and to top it off they had a little fancy wrapper that came with it.

Plum yelled furiously while walking closer to the girl. But no answer. " What is your name?" he exclaimed again. Still no answer. At this point, Plum was irritated so he invited her upstairs for Hot Chocolate. "Now, who are you?" Mr. Plum asked again. " Naini, Naini Folks," she answered as she started explaining. " I came from London and I heard about your shop so I decided to check it out." she finished. " But this late? You know that I close at 8 o'clock right? Do you know what time it is?" she nodded no. " I had heard that you are a twenty-four-hour shop. And this was all of my friend's favourite shops." "Well," Plum said grinning, " Your friends have lied to you. If I wasn't so nice, I would turn you in," he stated. Naini goes on to explain why she was eating the Shinies. " On the window, it says. Shinies are free on Fridays
