This is Bernard’s shop in our locality.
It is a popular shop for children’s books.
Bernard buys his books from this wholesale shop.
He had been here to add a few copies of the latest best-seller to his stock.
He sold the books by adding some profit.
Soon it was summer, and it was holiday-time for children.
A number of books from the previous year’s stock were still unsold.
Bernard decided to organize a discount sale.
