Mathilde I got you an invitation to a very prestigious ball, so that you would be happy.
No, I don't want to go since I don't have anything to wear.
Mathilde is depressed that she is so poor, but in contrast Monsieur Loisel is content with what he has.
Monsieur Loisel went through all that trouble just to make Madame Loisel happy, but she doesn't want to go because she doesn't own anything fancy enough to wear
I had so much, why did I take it all for granted.
I had to suffer the past ten years to pay off the debt of that precious necklace I borrowed from you.
After taking money from her husband, Mathilde bought a dress, and with her husband's suggestion, she went to her friend and borrowed a beautiful necklace.
Oh you poor thing! That necklace was a fake. You didn't have to pay that much for it.
Mathilde danced the night away and before she knew it, it was time to go. However there was one problem, the necklace had disappeared!
After losing the original necklace, Mathilde and her husband had to work hard for ten years to pay off the debt of the new necklace that they gave to her friend in replace of the original.
After paying off the entire debt, Mathilde tells Madame Foriester what happened and Mathilde realizes that all her hard work was for nothing.
