Dear Mme. Loisel,

With this letter I have sent a beautiful necklace made from recycled material. Your husband told me that you were going to a ball and wanted a necklace to wear. This necklace that I’ve made for you is made from buttons, yarn, and recycled paper that I’ve colored, rolled up, and used water to hold together. The benefits to this necklace are that if you lose it you won’t have to pay any money for it, but you will still be the most beautiful woman at the ball. I would still like it back, but like I said it’s okay if you lose it.

You shouldn’t be greedy and want a better necklace, such as a diamond necklace because if you lose it, you could be in debt for a long time. I knew a woman who had to work the rest of her life to pay back loans that she took out, because she lost a necklace that was made out of diamonds. She turned ugly from all the labor she had to do. Greed is bad because it means that you always want what you can’t have, whether it be more of something that you have, or something that you can’t afford. The woman who lost the necklace had to face the consequences of being greedy. I hope that you will not become greedy and end up the same way.

Sincerely,

Janel
