Two Bens, who are friends, 

own shops on opposite sides of the street.

Tall Ben bakes breads and cakes.
Small Ben makes tacos with meat. 

Tall Ben’s shop has an itty-bitty sign, 

with little letters that are hard to see. 

Small Ben’s shop has a great big sign, 

with letters large as can be. 

Now, folks like tall Ben’s bakery. 

They like his breads and cakes.
But only those who know he’s there 

come to buy the things he bakes.

“I need more customers,” tall Ben sighed. 

“I want folks who are passing through.”

So tall Ben talked to small Ben, 

and they decided what to do.

The very next day, a sign maker came to change tall Ben’s bakery sign
and make all the letters big enough for those passing by to find.

“Hooray!” for tall Ben’s breads and cakes. 

“Hooray!” for small Ben’s tacos with meat. 

And “Hooray!” for two very busy shops found on opposite sides of the street.
