Years ago mothers couldn't always watch the tiny children who were just learning to walk.  They tied a big soft pillow around the child's middle.  This was called a "pudding."  No matter how often the baby fell, he couldn't get hurt.  You can infer that:

• mothers didn't like their little children
• mothers had a lot to do
• many children never learned to walk

As I walked in the door, I was amazed at the beautiful colors and smells. I knew it would be hard to decide what I would buy with my $3. The chocolate truffles looked delicious, but they were expensive. The jelly beans were not only cheaper, but so colorful! With so much to choose from, I knew I would be here a long time. Where am I?

• Gas station
• Candy store
• Grocery store
• Shoe store
