After a long time, she naively said to the owner of the jewelry store, "I want to buy this necklace as a gift for my sister." Can you help me wrap it beautifully? "
The shopkeeper looked the little girl up and down, but she didn't look rich at all, so he asked, "Can you pay for this necklace?"
The little girl carefully took out a small handkerchief from her pocket. Because her little hand was frostbitten, she struggled to untie one knot after another on her handkerchief.
10 minutes later, the little girl spread all Parry's money on the counter and said excitedly, "Can these pay for this necklace?" The shopkeeper looked down at the counter and found that it was just a few coins.
The little girl went on to say, "My mother died a long time ago. My sister worked hard to raise me. She loves me and takes care of me like her mother. Tomorrow is my sister's 25th birthday. I want to prepare a birthday present for her. My sister hasn't had a birthday since her mother died, let alone received a birthday present. So I want to give it to her as a birthday present. I think she will be very happy when she receives this gift, because the color of the necklace is as beautiful as her eyes. "
After listening to the little girl's shyness, the shopkeeper took the necklace out of the counter, put it in a beautiful small box, wrapped it with beautiful red wrapping paper and tied a green ribbon on it.
He said to the little girl, "give it to your sister, son." Be careful on the road. " The little girl who got the gift ran out of the door of the jewelry store and disappeared into the cold street.
The next night, when the jewelry store was about to close, a beautiful girl with blue eyes opened the door. She politely said to the shopkeeper, "Excuse me, boss, I want to ask if this gem necklace was bought in your store." how much is it? "She took out the open gift box and necklace from her bag and put it on the counter.
After reading it, the shopkeeper recognized that this necklace was the one he sold to the little girl yesterday and said, "Yes, I bought it here and packed it. As for the price, it is a secret between the seller and the customer. Our store stipulates that the price of goods cannot be disclosed to third parties at will. "
"But you can't buy such an expensive necklace with my sister's coins."
The shopkeeper picked up the box containing the necklace, put it in again, repackaged it, tied the ribbon, and handed it to the girl with both hands, saying, "Your sister gave everything she had, and no one is willing to pay such a price, so I am willing to sell her this gem necklace."
Some people say, "Money makes the mare go. There is nothing impossible with money. " This statement is pure fallacy. There are many things that money can't buy, such as affection, friendship and love, which are just the most precious things in the world, and money will look bleak in front of them.
Understand the philosophy of life
There is a misunderstanding in real life that everything bought with money is good. People who have this idea ignore the saying that "money is not everything".
