“Please do not do that, sir”, said Mr.Hopkins.“This is a special place for special people.You must keep this shop a secret.” Then he took my photograph, and handed me the picture straight away.
“That was quick!” I exclaimed.I looked at the photograph.In the picture I looked proud and excited holding the presents I had bought in Mr.Hopkins’ dusty shop.
On Christmas Day, my friends and relatives were delighted with the presents I had bought for them.For weeks, my brother begged me to show him where to find this wonderful little shop.I finally agreed to take him to London to show him.
When we arrived in London, we walked along Oxford Street, past the department store and found...nothing.The little shop was no longer there.In its place was an empty space being used as a car park.I checked the area again.There was the music shop, and there was the department store.In between should have been Hopkins and Son, but it wasn’t there.
As I was staring at the place where the shop should have been, an old policeman came along.“Are you looking for something sir?” he asked.
I turned and said “I am looking for a little shop called Hopkins and Son.I thought it was here.”
“Oh yes,” said the policeman.“There was a shop here once called Hopkins and Son.It sold all sorts of things, but it was knocked down over 30 years ago.”
