Question

  Last Christmas,when I was in the fourth grade and my brother was in the first grade,our school held its yearly Holiday Shop. At the Holiday Shop,students can buy things like necklaces,key chains,and other small items for their friends and family as Christmas gifts. Since my brother really wanted to take part,my mum gave him two dollars to buy his Christmas gifts.

My mum didn't know that he had picked out a special necklace for her. When he got home from the Holiday Shop that day,he couldn't wait to show it to me. He pulled out a little green box and opened it. Inside was a gold chain with a little red flower and a man-made diamond next to gold letters that spelled out " Grandmother".

"Wow," I said, "It's beautiful. ” Since my brother was in the first grade and was just learning to read,he didn't realize that the necklace said "Grand?mother" instead of "Mother". I knew that on Christmas morning,when he found out,he had bought the wrong necklace,he would be very unhappy,so I said nothing more about it. My brother ran and put the necklace under his bed to hide it from mum until Christmas morning.

When he wasn't looking,I took the necklace and put it in my backpack. The next day I took it back to school and asked the woman who ran the Holi?day Shop if I could change it for the "Mother" necklace. She said yes. When I got home that day,I put the necklace under my brother's bed.

When my mum opened it up on Christmas morning,my brother was so exalted!My mum's eyes were filled with joy. She knew what had happened,which made the necklace even more special to her!

My brother still does not know what I did,but I knew I had done the right thing.
