Thomas felt very sorry and said no. He explained that he did not even a enough money to fix the strap of his watch he had broken. She did not insist on he request.
Thomas went to work and passed by the watch shop, sold his damaged watch at a low price, and went to buy a comb for Ethel.
Thomas came home in the evening with the comb in his hand ready to give to Ethel.
Thomas was surprised when he saw Ethel with very short hair cut.
Ethel had sold her blonde hair and holding a New watch band.
Years flowed simultaneously from their eyes, not for the futility of their actions, but for the reciprocity of their love.

To love is nothing, to be loved is something, but to love and to be loved by the one you love, and that is EVERYTHING. Never take love for granted.
