I-I-I have not Mme. Foresters diamond necklace!”
He jumped trying to act surprised and said, “What? How? It is not possible!”
“What shall we do, what shall we do.” he yelled. Three minutes had passed and nothing but ignorant suggestions was coming out of his mouth.
He said, “We can move to Africa, and start a new tribe”, he chuckled and she slapped him with anger in her eyes. He looked at with a grin still on his face and said, “Ooh I know we can flea the city and go to the bottom and farm. “We can plant corn”, he said. She finally gives him the look and he immediately stops trying to be funny.
She started to think back to everywhere she went to remember if she had seen the necklace fall. She remembered that she heard that sound of something drop after she had gotten out of the cab. As soon as she was about to go out and find the cab she dropped her necklace, Mme. Foster was standing at the door about to knock.
She said, “Hello my dear how was the party last night”, it took her a couple seconds to answer just because she was in shock. Her husband had to kick her so she could come back to reality.
“I-I-Had…a…great…time”, she murmured. Mme. Foster didn’t want to ask her what was wrong because she looked like someone had died. It was surprising that she didn’t ask were the necklace was so Mme. Loisel waited till she entered her home and closed the door. They searched everywhere for that cab and finally found it. The asked the cab driver,” Did you find a necklace I this cab Sir. He responded with a No sorry and she was crushed.
They decided that they would tell her the next morning after breakfast. They didn’t want to have to do that but it was the best decision to make, until her husband had a great idea. He said,” Maybe we should just tell her that the necklace fell and were getting it repaired.”Mme. Loisel knew it was wrong but she had to figure out something before it was too late.
Three weeks had passed and Mme. Foster was asking for her necklace everyday and they would reply and say.”It still getting fixed it will be back next week.” She realized they were saying that every week so she would say,” You said that last week I really do miss my precious necklace.” They realized that she was getting a little impatient so they decided to still from the jewelry store because they seen one the week before when they went out looking for the necklace.
The next day they got home took a nap and woke up at 12:00 am. They arrived at the store and went through the back because they realized it was unlocked. They busted the glass and ran out like nothing had happened. Everything happened so fast their hearts were racing like cars a track race. They got home and knocked on Mme. Foster’s door at 2:00 am in the morning. She opened the door and said,” Yes my necklace, I thought you would never bring it back” they had a frown on their face until she said,” Now here 2,000 franks for the both of you. That made them so happy. She rewarded them because she knew they had lost it. This is what giving back means. Never take anyone for granted.
