Jenny was almost five. Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw a circle of white pearls(珍珠) in a box. “Oh please, Mommy .Can I have them? Please, mommy, please!”

Quickly the mother checked the back of the little box and said ,” That’s almost $2.00. If you really like them, I’ll think of some extra chores for you and in no time you can save enough money to buy them for yourself.”

Then Jenny began doing more chores at home and did housework for neighbors. On her birthday, Grandma gave her another new dollar bill and she had enough money to buy the necklace.

Jenny loved her pearls. She wore them everywhere, even to bed.

Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed, he would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to read her a story. One night when he finished the story, he asked Jenny, “Do you love me?”

“Oh yes, Daddy. You know that I love you.”

“Then give me your pearls.”

“Oh, Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have my Princess.”

“That’s okay, Honey. Daddy loves you. Good night. ”And he brushed her cheek with a kiss.

About a week later, after the story time, Jenny’s daddy asked for the pearls again. And Jenny refused him again.

A few nights later when her daddy came in, Jenny was sitting on her bed with her legs crossed. As he came close, he noticed one silent tear rolling down her cheek.

“What is it, Jenny? What’s the matter?”

Jenny didn’t say anything but lifted her little hand up to her daddy. And when she opened it, there was her little necklace. She finally said, “Here, Daddy. It’s for you.”

With tears gathering in his own eyes, Jenny’s kind daddy reached out with one hand to take the dime-store necklace, and with the other hand to reach into his pocket and pull out a blue case with real pearls and gave them to Jenny. He had had them all the time. He was just waiting for her to give up the dime-store stuff so he could give her the real treasure.

What does the underlined word “Princess” mean?

A. It may be the daughter of the king .

B. It may be one of her toy girls.

C. It may mean Jenny`s teacher.

D. It may mean another necklace.

Why did tears come down when Jenny offered her necklace to her father?

A. Jenny felt sorry because she would lose her favorite.

B. Jenny felt excited because her father would give her a new necklace.

C. Jenny felt sad because the necklace she had bought was expensive.

D. Jenny `s father spent too much money on the necklace.

What’s the best title?
