Many people answered the-advertisement but nobody had a pearl that was just right．Just when the jeweler had given up hope，a little old lady came into his store．To his great surprise，she pulled the perfect pearl from her purse．"I don't like to part with it，"she said sadly，"I inherited it from my mother，and my mother inherited it from hers．But I really need the money．"The jeweler was quick to pay her before she changed her mind．
