As Penelope walked around in her unknown town, she found a lovely antique shop. Oh my! Is that... I have to go in! She went in and gazed at beautiful old cloth doll, she asked how much it would cost, the shopkeeper said $24.50. Penelope fumbled through her little pouch, nothing! No money!
"I'm terribly sorry miss, but I do not have the money."
"Oh well then, that's alright. You can come back a little later. Would you like me to save her for you?"
"Oh yes please!" As she walked out of shop, she said to herself Oh my how people are friendly in the future! If that was where I am  from, you would practically be eaten alive! She walked around the town and saw a middle-aged man, sitting on the cold ground, looking into space as passersby fire coins into a tin. Something in her brain clicked and she found a nice cosy spot and took out her pouch, laid it on the ground, sat down and waited.  Waited for a little coin to drop into the tattered old pouch. Only a few minutes later didn't she have over 30$! She went back to the shop but just as she entered her stomach rumbled. She had to get food. She found a little shop and scuttled in.

The bright lights burned her blue eyes at first, impairing her of her sight for a split second. When her eyes readjusted, she was stood in front of the maze that was tesco. Along with countless confused looks, Penelope navigated her way around to find her necessities: a loaf of bread, a bottle of water (she didn't dare buy that peculiar brown liquid) and a rectangular thin box called "chocolate" that caught her eye.
