Book excerpt: A lot of people have been moved by the story of the Magical Candy Shop, which is full of love, magic, and lasting kindness. A little girl named Lily started it all. She inherited her family's candy shop and has a magical ability to change sweets into other things. Her candies had magical powers; they could make you laugh out loud or feel cozy and warm inside. One sunny morning, Emily, a curious little girl, found the shop and was hired to work as Lily's assistant. She learned how to make candy, and she and her friend used their magical treats to make everyone happy, from sick neighbors to lonely tourists and kids in the school. Emily, who was now the store's protector, made beautiful candies over the years to continue Lily's love and kindness. Sarah, a sweet little girl, watched her and learned from her, then took over when she was ready. Sarah was in charge of the shop's magic, and her magical candies continued to bring happiness to everyone in the hamlet. Emily was thrilled to see Sarah start her new job and made sure that the company stayed a place of wonder and joy. In a gentle way, the story reminds us that the best magic is the power of kindness and love. It tells us that small acts of kindness and generosity can make the world a uniquely beautiful place. People from the area and visitors alike are affected by the Magical Candy Shop's legacy, which inspires them to add goodness, joy, and kindness to their own lives. As the years went by, the store became a wonderful haven, reminding everyone that real magic is not just in candy, but in the love and generosity that we all have inside us. People who worked at the Magical Candy Shop and the little girl who ran it showed how strong love is and how amazing people are. This is how the story starts: A long time ago, there was a great candy store in a cute town tucked between hills and a sparkling river. The tiny girl named Lily ran this one-of-a-kind store called the Enchanted Candy Shop. Her amazing skills gave her business a charm that made people want to buy everything. Because Lily is so talented, her candy shop is utterly amazing and unlike any other in the area. Lily had been an important part of the neighborhood for as long as anyone could remember. The family's closely guarded secrets and recipes were given to her by her parents, who used to run the candy shop. However, Lily was different from her ancestors because she naturally had the ability to make her sweets magical. Each sweet treat she made was unique and delicious. Her candy bars made you feel good and toasty, her lollipops made you laugh aloud, and her gummy bears made you jump really high. Kids from all over were interested in her projects, and long lines of them would form outside her shop to see what she had made most recently. A quiet knock on the door woke Lily up one bright morning as she carefully watched over her pot of sweets that were bubbling. She wiped her firsthand her apron as she opened the door and saw Emily standing there, her eyes wide with surprise. Emily is a quiet but interesting young girl. When the guest arrived, Lily smiled and said, "Hello, dearie. How may I assist you today?" Emily was amazed and shy at the same time when she heard stories about the Mystical Candy Shop. Emily said in a whisper, "I've heard rumors that your sweets are magical." Lily laughed quietly, knowing Emily was telling the truth. "Indeed, dearie. Would you like to experience one for yourself?" Emily replied with a heartfelt nod, and Lily gave her a beautiful lollipops. Emily took a bite and then could not stop laughing. It was a happy, joyful laughter she had never felt before. Lily looked at Emily's contagious laughter with a playful twinkle in her eye and said, "My lollipops have an uncanny way of digging up the deepest sources of happiness." Emily's eyes lit up with wonder as Lily asked, "What brings you to my humble shop today, Emily?" "I've always had a strong affection for sweets, and the rumors that your pastries are the best in the whole village brought me here. In addition, I've heard that you can teach people how to make magical candies," Emily said with a grin. Lily gave Emily a warm smile for her hard work and energy. "That is accurate, dearie. I can certainly initiate you into the craft of candy making, though it is no simple undertaking. It requires patience, unwavering commitment, and, above all, a kind heart." Emily kept saying how excited she was to learn and how determined she was to do so. Lily chose Emily to be her assistant, and so began a lovely journey. Emily replied, "I'm ready to go on this journey with you, Lily, and I promise that my heart is full of kindness." Lily taught Emily how to make candy. She showed them the right way to mix the ingredients, add magic to the treats, and make tastes that were delicious. As the days turned into weeks, Emily got better at making sweets, which let her make her own magical treats. She imagined jellybeans resisting gravity and shooting one into the sky, and she also imagined candy canes turning plain snow into designs made of many colors. The locals were amazed by her innovative ideas, and every day there were longer lines at the Magical Candy Shop. Emily, on the other hand, wanted to do more than just make delicious candy. She wanted to use her talent to help people who were sad. One day, she went up to Lily and made a proposal. Emily asked Lily, "What if we used the magic of our candies to help people in need? We could make candies that make people feel better when it is cold outside or make people laugh when they are sad?" Lily was moved by Emily's kindness, and she agreed with Emily's idea right away. “That's a wonderful thought, honey. Let us begin by making sweets for the orphanage kids over here. They deserve all the happiness in the world.” Ever since, Emily and Lily have been making one-of-a-kind sweets for the orphanage kids. They made candy that grew all year and sugar butterflies that flew around the kids and made them smile. The orphaned kids' laughter filled the building as they were thrilled with what they had found. Everyone in the town quickly heard about Emily and Lily's kind deeds. They became famous not only for their magical candies but also for their kind hearts. They continued to give their sweets to make other people happy, whether it was an elderly friend or a stranger walking by. Emily and Lily's friendship grew stronger over time and went beyond just being friends. They felt like family because they had been through so much together. It was Lily who suggested that Emily should run the Magical Candy Shop on her own and continue her parents' work. "Emily, my dear, the time has come for you to take over as owner of the Magical Candy Shop. You have learned everything I have to teach you, and I have no doubt that you will make me proud," Lily told Emily as they sat down together in the shop on a sunny afternoon. "Thank you for everything, Lily. I shall strive to preserve your legacy and continue to make this world a sweeter place." Lily gave Emily the keys to the shop with a mix of sadness and joy in her heart. The people of Hamlet marked the passing of the baton with a beautiful ceremony that went on all night and was full of sweets and laughter. Emily ran the Magical Candy Shop so well that it did very well. As Lily had told her to, she used her magic to make people happy who were sad and to create new magical sweets that amazed and pleased everyone. Lily was like an old oak tree that stood in the town square and was a part of the neighborhood. For many years, she was always there for the peasants, giving them support in a world that moved too quickly. Before she was born, her family owned the candy shop and took great care to keep the sweet traditions that had been passed down from generation to generation. Each generation had been given these valuable trade secrets and tried-and-true recipes for making sweets. They were like a river of candy knowledge. But Lily had a unique attitude that set her apart from her ancestors and from everyone else in town. She had been given a special skill that no one else had. Lily's parents were good at making sweets, but she was the best. She was able to give her candies special powers that made everyone who tried them happy and spellbound. As Lily got better, she learned that each candy could have its own magic added to it, which turned ordinary treats into amazing wonders. Her candy will make you laugh until you cannot hold back tears, her chocolate bars will melt your heart, and her gummy bears will make you jump higher than you ever thought possible. The village kids were enchanted by her works of art and waited in long lines outside her cute candy shop for her newest, most delicious treats. Over time, her charming personality became known, and people from nearby towns and cities came to her business. They were amazed by how much happiness her magical candies brought them, and they were truly happy. Lily had turned her tiny candy shop into a beautiful heaven where every delicious bite took regular things to a whole new level. People who came to her house were drawn in by more than just the sweet smell of her candy. The person was Lily, who was kind and caring and had a natural way of making everyone feel special. Every customer had a name, a favorite candy, and a story about themselves. Her warm smile and deep talks had a remarkable way of making even the worst days better.

Download or read book Twitterature written by Alexander Aciman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-12-29 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps while reading Shakespeare you've asked yourself, What exactly is Hamlet trying to tell me? Why must he mince words and muse in lyricism and, in short, whack about the shrub? But if the Prince of Denmark had a Twitter account and an iPhone, he could tell his story in real time--and concisely! Hence the genius of Twitterature. Hatched in a dorm room at the brain trust that is the University of Chicago, Twitterature is a hilarious and irreverent re-imagining of the classics as a series of 140-character tweets from the protagonist. Providing a crash course in more than eighty of the world's best-known books, from Homer to Harry Potter, Virgil to Voltaire, Tolstoy to Twilight and Dante to The Da Vinci Code. It's the ultimate Cliffs Notes. Because as great as the classics are, who has time to read those big, long books anymore? Sample tweets: From Hamlet: WTF IS POLONIUS DOING BEHIND THE CURTAIN??? From the Harry Potter series: Oh man big tournament at my school this year!! PSYCHED! I hope nobody dies this year, and every year as if by clockwork. From The Great Gatsby: Gatsby is so emo. Who cries about his girlfriend while eating breakfast...IN THE POOL?
