At the Farmer's Market

The farmer's market was loud, the sounds of people preparing for the day of sales echoing in the long building, as Tony and his family began unloading their products they would sell from their truck. Their booth was at the very front of the long building, at the entrance where the customers would enter. This was good for business, but Tony knew he would not get a break today. His favorite part of the farmer's market was taking time to walk up and down the rows of booths, looking at the different products people had for sale. He was already feeling frustrated with the long day ahead.
"Maria and Tony, please unload the honey and bring it to the display table," Rick, Tony's father, instructed. "And please hurry up. The market opens in 15 minutes, and we aren't ready yet."
Tony rolled his eyes at his father's comments, and Maria sighed heavily as she handed Tony a heavy box of the honey the family produced on their small farm. "Maybe if we weren't always late, we wouldn't have to rush," Maria whispered to her brother.
"Just hurry up, please," Tony replied as he stomped off with another load of honey towards the display table. "I just want to be finished with this day."
When he reached the table to set up the display of honey jars, he set the box down too quickly. The box was only partially on the table, and when he let go to open it, the box tipped and slid off the table, crashing to the ground. All the jars of honey inside were smashed to pieces. Tony's head snapped up quickly, his eyes wide with shock, and he looked at Maria, who looked back with the same expression.
The next sound they heard was their father's voice, "Tony!"
