Her husband agrees to give her money to go buy a dress, but that still was not good enough. She also had to borrow a beautiful necklace from her friend. She has the best night of her life at the ball. As she returns home, she notices she has lost the necklace. Little did she know, the next years of her life would be spent paying off the debt that she owes when she buys a new necklace to replace it.

She went through miserable times trying to pay back the debt. Her hard work and suffering was all for nothing. Some people believe in fate, that everything happens for a reason. Every event has a purpose in life, resulting in the outcome. Others see life being more random or luck. Your actions will always have consequences, simple cause and effect.
