Matilda and her husband left the party at 1 am, and they went home. When they got home, Matilda looked in the mirror, and she saw that the necklace wasn’t around her neck. She lost the necklace!
Matilda and her husband looked everywhere for the necklace. They looked in her pockets, they looked on the floor, and they looked outside. But they couldn’t find the necklace anywhere.
A few days later, Matilda went shopping. She wanted to buy the same necklace and give it to Claire. She went to five different stores. Finally, she found the necklace at a store. But the necklace cost $5,000. Matilda couldn’t buy it! She didn’t have enough money. But Matilda didn’t want to tell Claire that she didn’t have the necklace. She needed to buy it.
