Jerrold had asked his mother for a present for himself, but she had not been able to afford anything that expensive. So she had given him a beautiful bracelet to make up for it.
The girl had seen Jerrold\’s mother give him the bracelet and had been delighted. She had asked Jerrold if he wanted to give her something to show her appreciation. Jerrold had been pleased to give her the bracelet and had asked his mother if he could give her a little gift to show her he was thinking of her.
Jerrold\’s mother had given him a small gift in return, a box of chocolates. Jerrold had been delighted by the chocolates and had given them to the girl.
The girl had been very happy and had thanked Jerrold for the presents. She had also thanked his mother for the bracelet. Jerrold had been happy to give his mother a small gift to show her he was thinking of her.
The girl had left the house and had gone to work in the town. Jerrold had been happy to have given his mother a small gift and had spent the rest of the day playing with his friends.
The end.
