Which paragraph is the best summary of the story "The Antique Shop"?

Question

1. Jesse's father took him to the family antique shop when he was young. He saw a cowboy hat that used to belong to the first owner of the shop---his grandfather's grandfather. He used to think the shop was full of wonders. Now Jesse works in the shop after school and finds a treasure of his own there. He is as happy as the people who find old things in the shop that make them smile.
2. A family heirloom is displayed behind the counter in the antique shop where Jesse works. Jesse's father brought him to the shop when he was a child. The shop was interesting to the small boy. Jesse now works in the shop, which he finds boring. Jesse cannot understand why people would want to purchase old junk or why they grin when they leave the store with their purchases.
3. Jesse works in his family's antique shop. As a child, he thought the items in the shop were treasures, such as a cowboy hat his grandfather's grandfather owned, but now he thinks the items are junk. Jesse cannot understand why people would want them until he finds a cool action figure in a box his aunt got at a garage sale. Jesse's feelings about the action figure help him understand why people find joy in things in the shop.
4. Jesse walks from school to an antique shop where he works twice a week. He would rather spend time with his friends after school. Jesse's aunt comes to the shop with a box of items from a garage sale. He sees an action figure in its original packaging. He thinks the figure is cool. He reads the fine print on the package and wipes the dust off his shirt. Then, he waves the action figure in the air.
