Surprise

"Me, Myself, and I", said the T-shirt. It was really expensive for a T-shirt, to be honest. But it was just so.... powerful! I felt the power in myself. And indeed, it was pretty. The price would be fine for any normal person if normal means rich enough. But to me, it was as precious as 20,000 gold bars. The reason- my family was very poor. Let me tell you my background story. It all started with my tatara abuelo (great great grandfather). His business of aromatic candles was going fine. But everything went wrong when he fell ill and died. No one knew anything about business, so we eventually became very poor and are poor to this day. By the way, my name is Gabriella. Wait, we're going off-topic! As I was saying, the T-shirt was very expensive for me. I was very scared that my classmates would judge me if I wouldn't be wearing the T-shirt tomorrow. My birthday was also coming up, so I was very sad as I knew I wouldn't get the T-shirt as a gift. I was really looking forward to my birthday. I took a quick glance at my allowance, and of course, it wasn't enough. I silently kept on gazing at the T-shirt. I was happy but sad at the same time. I began thinking of my mother, who was long gone and had become a star in a constellation. After a few minutes, I returned home. I ate dinner and went to sleep, as tired as a dog. Suddenly, at midnight, I was startled by a sweet voice and woke up. I saw a strange figure and was shocked, as that strange figure was my mother! At first, I thought I was dreaming. But I realized I wasn't. My mother gave me a tight hug and a purple box. Before I could say anything, she disappeared! I opened the box, and inside was the beautiful T-shirt I longed for. I noticed a piece of folded paper. I unfolded it and it said, " Surprise! Happy Birthday to my dearest." I felt very happy and grateful, and knew, that no matter where my mother was, she was the same caring mother to me. I went to sleep and had the purest dreams.
