Suzy had often watched other little girls running and playing and had longed for the day when she could do the same. Just now, however, Mr. Prettyford's shop, with its brightly colored, polished vegetables, its cat, its pony, and its fascinating customers (especially Lady Marple and her funny hats), kept her busy.
As if this weren't enough, Mr. Prettyford himself could tell the most exciting stories; and the best one was the story of the white lark, a rare creature that very few people had ever seen or heard. The day came when Suzy had to leave England and Mr. Prettyford, but not before the white lark taught her a valuable lesson."
