A VERY BORING STORY 1: Cornelia's dirt

In Rome in a vine covered house, two boys were standing in the garden watching their mother and her friend walking among the flowers and trees. The youngest boy said “Look at our mother’s friend. Look how beautiful she is.”
But the elder one interrupted “Look at our mother. She is even more beautiful than her.”
 Their mother came down to where they were standing. She told them that they were having dinner with her friend and after they ate, her friend would show them her casket of jewels.
Later after dinner, one of her servants opened the casket of jewels. The boys were amazed by the jewels. There were diamonds, amethysts, rubies, and sapphires. The casket was closed and slowly brought away. Her friend asked Cornelia their mother, “Is it true you don’t have any jewels?”
Cornelia said, “But, I do have jewels,” She drew her twosons to her side. “These are my jewels and they are worth more than all your gems!”
