New York City)was an American journalist,playwright,editor and writer.Writing as Anthony Abbot,he was a notable author of mysteries and detective fiction.(http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulton_Oursler),46,http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulton_Oursler,47,4.2 Retelling,This is a well-plotted short story with a surprise ending.Pete Richards,the antique shop owner,who could not pull himself out of deep grief after his girl friend was accidentally killed in a traffic accident,was in low spirits lately,feeling that he was the loneliest man in this town where he kept his shop.One evening he was about to close his shop when Jean Grace,a little girl with big blue eyes and blond hair,came in.,48,4.2 The main idea,She wanted to buy a Christmas present for her elder sister,who cared for her after their mother died.She picked a turquoise necklace.But obviously she could not afford to buy it.She emptied out all her pennies of her coat pocket onto the counter,saying“This is all I have.”Pete was deeply moved by the little girls naivety and love for her sister.He decided to give the expensive necklace to the honest,nave,and grateful girl who had hair and eyes of the same color as her girlfriend he loved.The girl happily left with the free-of-charge necklace.Pete felt that the blue eyes of Jean Grace brought him out of that world of self-pity and made him remember again all that he had lost.,49,4.2 The main idea,The time was late now.Just as he was deep in the flight of meditation,a young woman,whose hair was also sunlight yellow and whose eyes were also sea-blue,opened the door and entered.Without saying a word,she produced the package and the ribbon.A fascinating conversation ensued.Pete explained that it was a genuine necklace,adding that her younger sister“paid the biggest price one can ever pay.She gave all she had.”But the elder sister insisted that she should not have that present for nothing.At that moment,Pete had been favorably impressed by the elder sisters honesty.He put the package back into her hands.The clock struck twelve at midnight.Thinking that it was late,he offered to send the elder sister home.,50,
