Part 5
Elizabeth went back to the distant past before she stole the necklace. She had run away from home and now lived on the street with a bunch of other people who were orphaned or had run away from home. All of them were hungry. Elizabeth promised she would get them something to eat. She sneaked up to the jewelry store window and looked inside. There was a diamond necklace sitting on a blue, silk cushion. Elizabeth looked for a rock and found one. She through the rock at the glass store front and the glass shattered. Elizabeth took the diamond necklace and ran to sell it. She thought she would get away with selling it to a con man. As she was about to hand the necklace over, she went forward in time again.

Wow...I have never thought Elizabeth had this beautiful heart. I guess we cannot judge why some people had to steal or do anything bad, until we understand what drive them to do that action. I'm glad that you wrote this interesting story, Jen.
ReplyDeleteSo Elizabeth was like Robinhood. She didn't steal the necklace for herself. She stole it to help other people. I wonder if this still makes her a criminal? Dad
