Question

When I was little my mother began selling flowers in Camden Market. She couldn’t   36  me at home on my own   37   I had to go to the market with her.
  38  I didn’t have to do anything. I just sat there and my mother told me jokes and stories so I didn’t get   39  .When I got older I gave my mother a hand and I really enjoyed it.
Then one year my grandma gave me a book for Christmas. It was all about making candles and I loved it. I was 14 and I didn’t have to go to the market   40  because my mother could leave me at home on my own. I   41  my free time making candles of all shapes and sizes. I made   42  them.
One day my mother was ill so I had to go to the market on my own. I decided to   43  some candles with me and see   44  I could sell them. They   45  in 20 minutes! The next week my mother gave me some money to buy some wax (蜡) to make more candles. They were sold out really quickly too.
Ten months later we decided   46  flowers. My mother and I couldn’t make enough candles during the week so some of my friends started to help us. I paid them one pound   47  every candle and we   48  sell them for three or four times. It was fun and my friends worked with me in the market.
At the age of 22 my uncle   49  me some money and I opened my first shop in Portobello Road. Since then I’ve   50  looked back even in difficulties. In the first store we only sold candles but now we sell everything from the designer furniture to paintings. Oh and candles of course.
