Et nyt smykke - A New Piece of Jewelry

For nogle år siden gik den halskæde, som jeg altid gik med, i stykker. Jeg fik den i barselsgave af min mor og far med min søns navn indgraveret på bagsiden. Jeg elsker det smykke. Det er en af mine mest værdifulde ting. Men det kan ikke repareres mere. Det er slidt op! Det var et sølvhjerte i en tyk kæde.

Jeg har ikke siden fundet noget, der kunne erstattet det - det er der nu ikke noget, der kan - men for nogen tid siden så jeg en kæde, som jeg ikke har kunnet glemme. Og nu er den blevet min.

Det er den ene del af historien. Men der er en anden historie, der også er fin. Da jeg kom hjem med kæden, fandt jeg ud af, at det hjerte, jeg havde fået med, ikke kunne gå ind over kæden, så jeg måtte af sted igen for at bytte det.

Da jeg kom ind i forretningen fandt jeg ved et tilfælde ud af, at jeg havde fået kæden til en forkert pris. Jeg havde kun givet halvdelen af prisen for den. Jeg blev lidt forlegen ved det, men bestyreren af forretningen sagde, at det var jo ikke min fejl, men deres, så det skulle jeg ikke slet ikke tænke på, og så fik jeg oven i købet procenter på det hjerte, som jeg byttede mig til, og alt skete med et stort smil og fantastisk betjening.

Jeg har en god fornemmelse af, at der følger noget godt med denne hjertehalskæde.

Some years ago I was wearing the same necklace every day - until it broke. The necklace was a present for me from my parents, when I gave birth to my son, and his name was engraved on the backside. I love that necklace. It is one of my most precious belongings. But it is beyond repair. It has been worn to pieces! It was a silver heart in a thick chain.

I haven't since found anything to replace it - nothing actually can - but a while ago I saw a necklace, which I haven't been able to forget. And now it has become mine, and I am very happy about it. I have always loved to wear a heart around my neck.

That is one part of the story. But there is another nice story connected to it. When I come home, I found out, that the heart, I had chosen, was too small for the chain, so I had to go back to the shop to change it.

When I came into the shop, I accidently found out, that I only had paid half price for the chain. I became a bit embarrassed about it, but the shop manager said, that it wasn't my fault, but theirs, so I shouldn't think anything about it, and on top of that I had a discount on the heart, I bought, and everything was done with a big smile and a fantastic service.

I have a good feeling about, that something good follows this heart necklace.
