一个暖春的早晨，一个名叫贝特西的小女孩想买一个礼物送给她的妈妈。

当她走进了一家珠宝店时，她对老板皮特说，“ “请给我用漂亮的纸包一下那枚胸针可以吗？”皮特问道：“你是为某个人买的吗？”“是的，我妈妈非常喜欢它。我想把它作为生日礼物送给妈妈。”“你有多少钱？”皮特问。小女孩从上衣口袋中掏出一把便士，将它们放在柜台上。“我有这么多”她简明扼要地解释说。贝特西不知道她的这笔钱根本就买不到这枚胸针。

皮特犹豫了一下，又看了小女孩一眼。她是个漂亮的女孩，眼睛像大海一样湛蓝，而且在她蓝色的眼睛里总洋溢着快乐的神情。这一下子打动了他。随后，他取下了胸针的价格标签，并用漂亮的纸包好那枚胸针，上面还扎着绿色的缎带。“给你，”他微笑着说道，“别在回家的路上丢了哟！祝你妈妈生日快乐！
