Aram and Rossi's Barkery

        Walking along the narrow brick sidewalk, Aram took a deep breath.The air of lemons and baked bread and coffee, coming from Rossi’s Italian Bakery. He was almost there.

        Aram still couldn’t believe his luck. All his friends were working boring summer jobs—washing tables and baby siting. And here he was, about to start as an actual baker’s assistant, doing what he loved. It was all thanks to his Aunt Rita. She knew Mrs Rossi and had arranged everything. It was the perfect experience for his future career. Rossi’s Bakery, he was sure, would one day be known as the place where he got his start.

        Ah, here he was—the bakery. A faded wooden sign over the door read "Rossi’s Bakery". Aram straightened his shoulders and entered. Mrs Rossi was sitting at the corner, looking old and wise. Aram greeted her and stuck out his hand. Mrs Rossi looked at it for a second before turning around and waving him inside. "I am ready to learn everything," Aram said.

        "Great. Let’s start with the cash register." Mrs Rossi said, "because that’s what you’ll be doing." She showed him how to use the cash register. It wasn’t hard. The pastry trays were all marked by price, and there weren’t that many choices anyway. "That’s it?" Aram said, his heart was sinking. "But when do we bake?"

        "Bake? I ordered wholesale now! No more baking. I am too old!" Then she silently held up her hands. Aram took in her knotted, swollen fingers and he understood. A wave of disappointment struck him. Sadness overwhelmed so suddenly that he couldn’t think of a word to say.

        He sighed, and Mrs. Rossi sighed too. "I used to bake it all. Bread and cakes, and no one did it better than me. But that’s when these things  worked," said Mrs Rossi holding up her hands once more and glancing across the shelves filled with empty bottles labelled with names of the various ingredients she once used. Suddenly she came alive, waving her arthritic hands. "People used to line up around the corner. Everyone wanted my baked bread."

        Then a thought occurred to him that he could ask Mrs Rossi to teach him. But he was not sure whether Mrs Rossi liked the idea or not. Thinking that if he didn't put it forward, he would be dealing with the boring cash register for the whole summer, Aram hesitated no more. "Mrs Rossi, I'm wondering if I could have the privilege to be your apprentice." Mrs Rossi looked at him and then his hands. "Actually, I've been longing for that since I was first attracted by the smell and taste of your cakes," Aram continued. "I was fascinated by the pure magic with which you mixed those ingredients and turned them into pieces of art. It's more than bakery. It'e the fragrance of life! Would you teach me to be your magical hands?" Aram's eyes glittered with passion. 

        Mrs Rossi finally spoke, "Let’s buy the ingredients first." On hearing this, Aram felt over the moon. Delightedly, they shut the door and headed for the supermarket. Two hours later, those empty bottles were full agian with the long-absent ingredients inside. Mrs Rossi seemed as overjoyed and hopeful as Aram. At the end of the summer, neighbours were seen lining up around the corner outside the Rossi's. Two years later, a new wooden sign was hung over the door, reading "Aram and Rossi's bakery".
