Gratitude

Certain man, behind the counter of a shop, was distractedly gazing at the street, when a girl smashed her nose at the glass window. Her color-of-the-sky-eyes, lit up when she saw certain object.She entered the shop and asked to see the blue turquoise necklace.

- "It's for my sister, would you do a pretty good package?"

The shop owner, suspicious, asked:" How much money do you have?"

Without hesitation she pull out a handkerchief tied around and was undoing the knots. She put it on the counter and happily said: " is it enough?"

There were only a few coins, that she proudly displayed.

- You know, i want to give this as a gift to my older sister. Ever since our mother died she's taken care of us without thinking about herself! Today is her birthday, and I'm sure she'll be happy with this necklace, which is the color of her eyes.

The man went to the interior of the shop, put the necklace on a box and wrapped it beautifully." Ok, here it is!"

The girl returned home happily bouncing down the street. the day hasn't finished yet, when a beautiful young woman, with blond hair and blue eyes entered the shop.She placed on the corner the familiar package, scrapped and asked: "Was this necklace purchased here?" " yes, ma'm" said the men." And how much did it cost?"

"Ahh", said the shopkeeper," The price of any product of my shop is always a confidential matter between me and my customers."

"But my sister had only a few coins,The necklace is true, isn't it? She wouldn't have enough money to buy it!"

The men took the box, redid the package with extreme care and returned it to the young lady.

"She payed the highest price anyone could pay. She gave everything she had!"

When we wake up to the sentiment of gratitude, we'll begin to feel gratitude for everything. The air we breath, for walking, seeing, hearing, speaking and for the fact of being alive!!
