"Between the cab firm and the chicken shop pavement cracked and a flower stall sprang up"

I interpret this quote to mean despite a towns dullness something as small as a flower stall can brighten it up. Cab firms and chicken coops are the epitome of dull, but then the earth starts to shake and the pavement cracks and a flower stand sprouts up with "every colour flower except grey" in stock. This town no longer seems boring, but colorful, exciting and almost magical. This first line grabs the reader and pulls them and adds color to the black and white scene as if it were a cartoon drawn straight from Disney's motion picture, Fantasia. The image of the once dull town springs to life and creates unforgettably beautiful scene in the reader's mind.

THis picture shows how a single flower can brighten up a black surrounding. The picture was boring and plan black before the flower came. Now the scene is beautiful and eye catching.
