A girl started helping her father at his shop after she finished high school. She worked with her father for about 30 years. Then, her father’s shop was featured in a local gourmet magazine. Recently, customers stopped seeing the girl at the shop. They started to worry about her, and one of them asked the father how the daughter was doing. The father said that someone had seen her photo in the magazine and asked her out. Happily, they fell in love and got married. She has stopped working, and the father is running the business on his own now. (written by a reader, edited by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
