| yard sale |
When people have a lot of things that they don't want anymore, they sometimes have an event called a "yard sale." In the yard sale, they try to sell all these things. First, they put the things out in their yard so people can see them, and then they put prices on each thing. They also put up signs that say "Yard Sale" to get people's attention and invite them to the sale. If people are interested, they will come and look and maybe buy some things. |
