Here, take 400 francs. Buy a nice dress which can be used often.
Matilda, we are invited to a grand party.
I have no jewels to wear. I will look so bland.
Oh yes!
Borrow one from your friend Mme. Forestier.
Matilda, what seems to be the problem?
The next day, Matilda went to her rich friend. She explained her problem and borrowed a diamond necklace from her friend.
The day of the party, Matilda had lots of fun. She was the prettiest woman there and everyone wanted to dance with her.
When they returned home, they discovered the necklace lost. They searched a lot but ultimately decided to replace. It cost them 36000 francs which caused them to go into debt and have to make drastic changes in their lives.
THE END
10 years later, Mme Loisel meets her friend Jeanne again in a marketplace. Jeanne didn't recognise her at first but when Matilda told her her name she recognized her. Matilda decided to tell her the truth.
And so to pay off the debts, we lost most of money and now live a frugal existence.
Oh Matilda that was a fake model, not worth more than 500 francs.
