Which two sentences from the passage best convey a tone of wonder? ?
The Extended Holiday
by Blue Spicer
The noisy plaza was bustling as people gathered around the
store's display. It was after the holidays, but the oldest toy store
in the city always decorated their enormous storefront at the
beginning of each new year. The tradition began with the
store's original owner, Margot Thistle, in her hope of keeping
the youthful wonder and majesty of the holidays alive.
It was a jovial tradition passed down to her daughter. But
she only saw the display as a financial boon, and soon the
costly practice became a miserly experiment. The storefront
was once lavishly decorated, making everyone feel childlike for
a few weeks longer. However, Margot's daughter began to
skimp on costs. She cheaply placed the hottest toys of the
season on display as nothing more than a tactic to get kids to
harass their parents for the toys they didn't receive during the
holidays. The store lost business, fell into disrepair, and people
began going to chain stores for toys.
Margot eventually took back control of the store. With the
help of her grandson, Andre, they rebuilt the toy store into a
fantastical delight. It took time to get the crowds to return, but
nostalgia had a powerful allure that the townspeople could not
ignore. It was a ragtag operation between Margot and Andre,
but their love for the store and the city gave them the means to
be creative despite having to be frugal. It began by using a black
curtain to hide the display being set up. Even in the age of
technology and rumor, that little black curtain became the talk
of the town
For the past five years, the displays had grown to be as great
as they were in Margot's heyday, but this year Andre-having
it was a jovial tradition passed down to her daughter.
And with one mighty tug, the new displays beamed out to the overcrowded square.
However, Margot's daughter began to skimp on costs.
Flashbulbs went off, social media began buzzing and the two toy store owners
smiled from ear-to-ear.
With the help of her grandson, Andre, they rebuilt the toy store into a fantastical
delight
