📖 LONG READING
A Pricey Purchase
Last month, I went shopping in the city. I visited many stores, but one window caught my attention. Inside, there was a white designer shirt. It looked elegant and perfect for special occasions. I checked the tag. It cost $1,500.00!
At first, I laughed. “That’s too much,” I thought. But I kept thinking about it all day. I had money saved, and I wanted to buy something special. The next day, I returned and bought the shirt.
Now, when I wear it, people always say, “You look great!” I take care of it, and I only wear it on important days. It was expensive, but to me, it was worth it.
