Chapter 1. Our story begins with a young boy and his grandfather. We call him Eman Ahmed. His whole family is about to have breakfast. The little boy tells his grandfather that he wants some special bread. Eman's grandfather takes off his apron, puts his tools away and starts to make a bread that he only prepares on special occasions. He starts to knead the dough. Eman watches his grandfather. He asks him how he knows what to do. His grandfather says: "I learned it from my father and my father from his father." "And his father from his father?" "Yes." "And his father?" "Yes." "And his father?" "Yes." "And his father?" "It has been passed down from generation to generation." "It has been passed down from generation to generation." This is how it works, generation after generation. The same family is passed from one generation to the other. If it is not passed, the family can't survive. If it is passed, the family lives on. Eman's grandfather will tell you about his first-hand experience. When he was only six, he went with his father to Germany. His father used to make bread in Germany for many years. His father, his grandfather, and all his ancestors were bakers. When he was only six, he wanted to become a baker. That's how our story begins. What do bakers mean to their society? A bakery is a place where the family has been for many generations. It is like the family, which consists of people who have the same ethnicity, history, and origins. To many people, a bakery and its products are something to be proud of. It is something to be proud of to be an Algerian. When Eman's family moved back to Algeria, they opened a bakery. The bakery was doing very well and they had a great sense of pride. The business was so good, they had to expand their factory in order to meet the growing demands of the local market. Eman's father was a baker in his old country and he grew up in a bakery. He loved baking and knew how to make bread. It was his father's great love, not the bread business. Like many young people today, he had a different passion. He chose to be a baker. This is his story. He wanted to make bread from morning to night. He wanted to make bread well, the whole bakery smelled of his bread. In our story, his bakery was always the best. When the bread was ready, the whole neighborhood would get excited because they could not wait to taste it. There was a bakery close to Eman's home. They started to sell the best bakery bread to that bakery. People knew that their bread was the best in the city. The restaurant manager said that the bakery should not be called the "best bakery in the city" because it was not the best bakery. "You should call it the best bakery for the whole city." His family thought that it was fine for him to do that because his bakery was the best. For them, Eman's father was the best baker. His family supported him and his dream to be the best baker. He was proud of his success. On the other hand, the restaurant manager's bakery was not the best. They did not have the best bread. People would say, "Why doesn't your bread taste like the best bakery in the city?" They did not have the best bakery. They started to try to improve their bakery. One day, the bakery manager was talking about the bakery and he said that the best bakery in the city had a bad bread. He started to tell the manager that he, the manager, was a great man. He only had one problem. His bread was not as good as it could be. The manager was so sad. He immediately went out and started to buy all the best breads. He called the bakery and ordered many things for his bakery. He thought that one day his bakery would have the best bread. He started to use the best flour and the best wheat. He did not want to compete with Eman's bakery. He did not want to compete with him. In the end, he failed. In our story, the bakery manager was always a good man. He is a good guy in the story. Eman's father was proud of his bakery. He never got angry with his bakery and never got angry with his customers. He felt his bakery was the best because the bakery was always so well made. It was always so well made, all his friends came there to enjoy it. His family always had a good time in the bakery. This is his bakery in the story. The bread and the bread shop were always clean. His father was a really careful person. He never made a mess. When he used to visit other bakeries, he could not bear the mess. There was always something that he hated about other bakeries. People would have dirt on the bread. They would not wash their hands well. There was always something dirty in their bread. It was always messy. The bakery was always nice, clean, and beautiful. It was as clean as Eman's bakery. His bakery was a special place for many people. It was something that everyone loved. I was going to school and my dad was working. I would have a little money and buy some pastries. This bakery was always a big part of my childhood. I went there with my family and my friends. The bakery was where I felt very happy. This bakery meant a lot to me. Sometimes I would go with my father to buy doughnuts, fruit cakes, and cream pastries. I think it was my favorite bakery. I had so much fun there, because of the bakery staff, the ambience, and the beautiful place. It was my safe place, I could just go there to hang out with my friends. You could not find such a wonderful place anywhere else. I went there as soon as I woke up in the morning. I would bring some bread with me. Sometimes the bakery was a place to go when I wanted to cry. There were so many stories about Eman's bakery. I remember that one day the bakery was closed. There was a big thunderstorm that day. When I left school I was crossing the city. I saw that there was a bakery on the other side of the street. I was surprised. When I reached that bakery I thought it was going to be closed. It was always so nice and beautiful. The owner was happy to see me. He asked me how I was doing. He said that he had been waiting for me and he wanted me to see that their bread was still in the fridge. It was the best bread. I was very lucky that day. I found a bakery that was open and it had the best bread. Everyone was happy that day and the bakery was just like it was in the past. My favorite bakery was very popular for many years. It was as beautiful as any other bakery and everyone wanted to taste it. Eman's bakery was famous all over the city and people knew that it was the best. They always took pride in the beautiful place and they always came to eat. People would come here, go to the back, wash their hands in the washroom, and eat. There was a certain quality in the bakery. The bread was the best in town. In the evening, they brought bread and fresh pastries to the bakery. The bakery was famous because it was a great place to meet and socialize. It was a great place to meet and chat about all sorts of things. It was a good place for conversation and relaxation. To make a bread that is popular, it is important to follow traditional procedures. It is important to follow what has been passed down from generation to generation. If you do not, you will not make any bread. The bread will taste bad and it will not have the same flavor as the other bakery breads. It will have to taste different, it will not be like your own. If a bakery uses the same ingredients that every bakery uses, it will not taste as good as it could. The quality is always in the hands of the baker, so he has to work hard. His job is to work for the bread. When you use certain ingredients in a bakery, the bread is different. If you use this kind of ingredient, the bread will taste different. The quality of your bread is in the hands of the baker and the baker must not make mistakes. It is something that cannot be forced. It is something that you must have a passion about. If you do not have passion for your bakery, you cannot bake well. You can make anything and the bakery is successful. You must make the bread with passion and then you can be proud of what you are doing. Everything depends on the baker
