The Day for Sherry’s wedding ceremony came. Wearing the unique beautiful white wedding dress, she was really attractive.
“You are so beautiful!” “You look really great! And your wedding dress is really marvelous.” These were the words she heard most on that day.
After a whole day’s celebration and all the guests left, Sherry took off the wedding dress to get it ready for return. Her face turned pale when she found that there was a small hole on the wedding dress. It must be caused by the spark of the fireworks, she thought.
But what would it do even she knew the causes? The point was that she will have to make compensate for it, 110 dollars. Although the hole was not noticeable, the shop-keeper would certainly know it as she cared this special expensive wedding dress so much.
At this time, her best friend came in and saw her depressed face, “What’s wrong?”
“See? I have to pay for it.” Showing the hole on the wedding dress to her friend, Sherry wept.
After checking, her friend comforted her, “There must be some solutions.”
Few minutes later, her friend cried out, “I have an idea! You see, there are six lilies here. If we can add one just like these ones, the shop-keeper wouldn’t notice that.”
“Yeah, that’s a good idea. I will buy some fabric which is just the same as the one those lilies are made of. That wouldn’t cost much! Thank you so much for your idea!” Sherry was so happy that she wouldn’t have to pay so much for the hole.
On the next day, Sherry carried out the plan and then took the wedding dress to the store for returning. As expected, the shop-keeper didn’t notice that there is one more lily on that wedding dress.
One week later when Sherry passed by the store, she saw the model with that beautiful wedding dress still stands beside the door. Different from what it was before, the lilies on it was seven, not six now.

Sherry was going to get married. This day, she and her good friend come to a store for leasing various wedding dresses to choose the wedding dress for her own wedding.
On entering the store, Sherry’s eyes were attracted by the white wedding dress on the model beside the door. It was so beautiful with the golden lace. And the six lilies on it were so vivid that they seemed to be the real lilies.
Without any further selection, Sherry asked, “What would be the rent for this one?”
“You have such an excellent insight! This one is imported from France and it is the unique one all over this area.” The shopkeeper said. “As the cost for this one is higher than others, the rent for it would surely be a little bit higher. The cash pledge for it is 800 and rent is 100 dollars.”
It was really a big amount to Sherry. Though she loved this wedding dress very much, she was still under hesitation.
“You can only wear the wedding dress once in your life. It is worth for doing so.” Sherry’s friend murmured to her.
Turning this matter in her mind, Sherry agreed with her friend.
Before they took this white wedding dress, the shopkeeper said, “I have to make one thing beforehand. You see, this wedding dress is unique. So, if any tiny damage caused to it, you should pay at least 110 dollars for the damage, ok?”
Sherry nodded her head after a short hesitation. “I wouldn’t be so unlucky. As long as I take care, no damage will be caused.” Sherry thought.
Full with satisfaction, Sherry took the golden lace wedding dress with her and left the store.
To be continued.

One day, the girl was chatting with her friends, the girl said, “If there is one who can make a wedding dress special for me one day, I will marry him.” All her friends except him laughed loudly for her naïve joke. He kept these words in mind from then on and decided that one day he will make a wedding dress special for her.
Years later, both he and she had graduated from school and had their own life. Then, one day, a couple-would-be came to his wedding dress store to select the wedding dresses for their marriage. With a look at the wedding dresses there, the girl soon made up her mind of which one to choose. However, when she told the saleswoman she needs that one. The saleswoman said, “That one can be sold only with our boss’s allowance. It is specially designed by our boss.”
Fortunately, on that day, he was there. So, the saleswoman asked him to see if he allows. When he came out from his office and saw the girl, he offered the wedding dress for free, because the wedding dress was designed for her initially. He had been always waiting for this day when he can present this special wedding dress to her in person even though the bridegroom was not him.
