Tall Cam has a small jam stall on the path. He sets up six pans and ten cans of rich jam. Cam sells red yams, ham snacks, and bags of chips. His pal Dan runs to the stall with a big van.
Dan packs boxes and sacks on the benches. “Check all the dishes and glasses,” Cam calls to Dan. Dan stacks the dishes and fixes the small fan. When the sun gets hot, the fan spins and helps them.
Just then, a tall man with a tan hat stops at the stall. It is Gramps! He hands Cam a small bell and a bunch of fresh plums. “Tap this bell when pals pass on the path,” Gramps tells them. Cam pins the bell on the wall and taps it with a stick.
Then Jan and Sam dash up the path to shop. Jan wishes for six cans of jam and two boxes of chips. Sam grabs a sack of clams and checks the shells. Cam passes the boxes to Jan and Sam with a grin.
Next, Pam and Nan rush up with a big red bag. Nan drops six balls and a thick mat on the grass. Pam catches two balls and tosses them back to Nan. Then Pam picks up ten cans of jam and a dish of clams. Nan snacks on crisp chips and sips from a tall cup.
At the end of the shift, Cam and Dan pack up the stall. They sit on the benches and munch on ham and yams. Cam mixes a fresh drink in two tall glasses. “That was a swell plan!” Cam tells Dan.
