Extension: "True and False Pearl Necklace" Original:

One day, when Jenny, a 5-year-old girl, was waiting for her mother in front of the cashier in the shop, she found a beautiful white pearl necklace in the jewelry box of the shop. Jenny then took her mother's hand and said, "Mom, I want this necklace. Please buy it for me. " The salesgirl went up to Jenny's mother and said, "Please buy one for her. This necklace is not expensive, just $65,438 +0.95, just suitable for children. "

Jenny's mother looked at her daughter's eager eyes and was a little embarrassed. She thought about it and said to Jenny, "If you really want this necklace, you have to make money. I can consider letting you do more housework so that you can earn more money. " Besides, your birthday is only one week away, and your grandmother will give you 1 USD as a birthday present. "

Jenny came home, opened her piggy bank and found that there was only 17 cents in it. So Jenny began to implement her own money-making plan. She finished the extra housework given by her mother and got 10 cents from her mother. Then, she picked a handful of dandelions in her yard, and then went to her neighbor James's house and asked Mrs. James if she could buy her dandelions for 10 cents. Mrs. James accepted her request happily. A week later, Jenny earned $65438 +0.4. Grandma really gave Jenny 1 dollar on her birthday. In this way, Jenny has $2.57 in her hand, which is enough to buy the pearl necklace in the shop.

Jenny bought that pearl necklace with her own money. She likes it very much. She wears it everywhere and asks others if it looks good. In the evening, my father said to Jenny, "I wanted to give you a birthday present, but I can't buy it now." I'll buy it for you later. "

With that pearl necklace, Jenny doesn't care about other gifts. The father whispered to his mother, "Look at this child, he doesn't know it's fake! I think the pearls on the chain are fake pearls made of plastic. " Jenny can hang that necklace around her neck every day except swimming and bathing, no matter whether it is true or not.

Father loves Jenny very much. Every night, no matter how busy he is, he will put down what he is doing and tell Jenny a story before she goes to bed. One day, after telling the story, my father asked Jenny, "Can you give me your pearl necklace?" Jenny immediately cried out, "ah! Dad! Pearl! No Can I give you my favorite doll? I can also give you that little wooden horse that I especially like. " The father shook his head and left his daughter's room with a smile. After two weeks, my father brought up the old story at the end of the story: "Would you like to give me your pearl necklace?" Jenny hesitated and said, "Dad, I can't live without a pearl necklace. Let me give you a new little prince. " The father left his daughter's room with a smile. Since then, he has never asked Jenny for a necklace.

Another month has passed. One night, after listening to this story, Jenny asked her father, "Dad, do you love me?" Father said, "I love you the most, my dear daughter." Jenny took off the necklace around her neck and said, "I love you, too, Dad. So I want to give you the necklace. " The father took his daughter's necklace and was very happy. Then he said to his daughter, "Close your eyes." Jenny obediently closed her eyes. When she opened them again, there appeared a necklace shining in the light, which was much more beautiful than the one she used to wear.

Father said to Jenny, "My dear daughter, this is a gift I promised to give you on your birthday.". This is a real pearl necklace, but your original one is fake. " . I have been waiting for you to give me your favorite necklace, and then I will give you this real pearl necklace.

I am really happy tonight, because I received the necklace you gave me. That is not an ordinary necklace, but your love for your father. Son, remember what dad said to you tonight. There is a gift in the world that is more precious than any jewelry, and that is love! (Excerpted from Neihu Daily) Global Times (April 200412nd edition13rd edition)
