The Necklace After You Read #1

1. Mathilde wants to be rich, she wants to live in a life that she doesn't have to worry about money, and live in a life where she can wear beautiful dresses and jewelry. But she has a poor life, and she doesn't have money to buy a necklace for her to bring it to a party. Her husband was invited to a party where people wears beautiful dresses and jewelry to attend.  Mathilde and her husband bought a very expensive dress for her, and she borrowed a very beautiful necklace from her friend. But after the party she can't find the necklace anymore. So she and her husband went to buy a necklace that is exactly the same, but it is very expensive, so they work really hard for ten years to pay all the money. After the ten years, Mathilde finally told her about this, and she realized that the one her friend gave her is a cheap and fake necklace. All her works are all useless.

The Necklace Quick write

               I envy people a lot. It is not like I can control it. But every time I think of what other people have that I really want, I envy them. The most common thing that I envy about is friends. I envy how one person  has a better relationship with one of my friends. I will want to be her, and I will want to do things to change it. I will not be angry at that person whom I am envy at, and I will not treat him or her badly. One of my personality traits is that I think too much. I will think about one thing too much that I believe things that are not true, and then I will feel sad about that. One time, I envy how two of my friends that have all their classes together. I think that maybe my best friend told another girl my secrets, and they talked behind my back. But after I ask my best friend, she said she will never do things like that to me. And I felt better. But my best friend later think I like to think to much, and I am selfish that I don't want to share friends. This is the negative effect. I know we should not envy people, and I try to stop it, but this is human nature, everyone does it.
