I read the story 3 times, i need help in writing the beginning
Read the story…it is a little sad but you will like it, I am sure. I am Romanian, but I know it.
The story is about a young lady, loving her husband very much, and a sacrifice she makes, because she needs money to buy a Christmas gift.
At the same time, there is a totally unexpected ending, you will like – I am sure.
Try to read the story!
You will find a lot of things there: love, courage, dedication, hope, joy, even a tear or two.
second part of my answer:
I am glad you read it – now you know what I am talking about.
how would you begin to describe her (the first character in the story?)
A beautiful woman, young and very much in love with her husband, ready to make any sacrifice for a Christmas gift for her husband.
The only thing she can sacrifice to get the money is her greatest reason to be proud: the most beautiful hair. And she does not hesitate to sell her hair!
For her, the most important thing is to give a special present to her husband, because she loves him and because it is Christmas!
Beauty, courage, generosity, love – this is HER description.
now, what about HIM?
they are a wonderful couple, because they think alike: like reflections of a mirror – each of them is doing the same thing: sacrificing his best assets just to please the person they love!
they deserve each other and you can feel how this Christmas sad story is not sad any more: because love is in the air, because they are young and they have something more precious that a watch or a long beautiful hair. Maybe now they are poor, but they have golden hearts and they are young and they are in love!
….and there is still hope that after Christmas he will re-gain his watch and slowly-slowly she will be proud again of her long wonderful hair!
Things will be good in their lives, because they are ready to make any sacrifice for each other!
sorry i write too much!
