Mathildes husband gave Mathilde an invitation to a party, she is getting her outfit ready.
I have a dress, all I need now is a necklace or else I won't be complete!
Good idea!
Why don't you borrow one from Madame Forestier?
So I can borrow this necklace?
Thanks!
Sure! Just bring it back!
Have fun!
Oh no! I lost the necklace! What ever shall I do?
I will spend all my money I have to buy a new necklace to replace the old one!
After Mathilde spent her life savings to replace the diamond necklace, she worked everday for the next 10 years to try to make her money back.
The next day Mathilde saw Madame Forestier and talked to her...
Hello Madame Forestier, it's me, Mathilde...
Remember that necklace I borrowed? I Lost it and I spent 35,000 francs to replace it.. I've been working ever since to try to make money.. For 10 years..
Good lord! My poor Mathilde! What happened to you!
Yes, I'm so sorry!
My poor Mathilde! That necklace was a fake! It was worth 500 francs at the most!
You lost my necklace and spent all of your money to replace it??
