The Golden Necklace and The Silver Necklace

       Once there was a man who is poor and shabbily dressed. On the way home, he lost his cheap and old necklace on the train. He found lost-and-found nearby and went to there. Cara who was working at the lost-and-found found a golden necklace and gave it to him. "This is your necklace," said Cara. The man said, "No, that is not my necklace." Cara found a silver necklace this time. "This is your necklace," said Cara. Again, he said, "No, that is not mine." In order to find his necklace, Cara went back to the box and brought him his necklace which is covered with rust and looks very cheap and old. "This is your necklace," Cara told him. Finally, he said with a joy, "Yes, that is mine."
      
       "You're very honest. You could have said that the golden necklace is yours," said Cara with a smile. But, the other woman whose name was Sara and who was working with Cara spoke ill of his poor appearance. Sara said cynically, "What a nice necklace he has!" However, Cara was glad to see the man who is very honest and she fell in love with him. After two years, they married. Can you believe this? This man became the President of the 'Pinkland' later and he got a great respect from people. Cara lived happily with her husband in a castle ever after.

The moral of this story is not all people could find a real jewel.

The Lovely House

This is a two-story wooden house that I hope to live in. There is a hill behind this house. The roof is made of pink blocks and the white wall is a lime-plastered wall. There are a lot of huge windows, so enough sunshine and wind could come in. This house has a huge deck and I will be very happy if I can drink a cup of coffee on the deck. I can also use that place when I eat Samgyupsal with my mom and dad. Can you find a picture on the wall? The architect drew a picture of nest and I think it goes well with the house. That drawing made this place more peaceful. There is a well-groomed lawn and through it, I guess the industrious and neat people will live in this house.
The interior is decorated with a modern design and white, gray and black made the house simple and neat.
This house is exactly the place where I want to live in. It suits my taste and it looks like all my stress and fatigue could melt away when I take a rest in here.
