Each Sunday, Tane went with his grandmother to the local market. They bought fresh apples, carrots, and eggs from different stalls. Tane liked watching the shopkeepers count coins and wrap the food carefully in paper bags. His grandmother always checked the prices before she paid, because she liked to spend wisely. Tane noticed that some stallholders had signs saying 'Special today' or 'Fresh from the farm'. He enjoyed hearing the busy voices and smelling the warm food.

Which sentence would be the BEST sentence to add to the passage?

Tane played a trumpet loudly until the apples became invisible. At the market, Tane chose a banana and helped carry the shopping home. His grandmother forgot the market and went to the moon instead. Later, the school bus turned into a fishing boat beside the stalls.
