Reаd the stоry thаt fоllоws аnd in the textbox write your answer to the question at the bottom. Vocabulary: resentment: displeasure, feeling of unfair treatment lavish: luxurious scrimping: economizing, being thrifty to make ends meet: to survive, to pay bills hand-me-downs: used clothing passed down to others The Pocket Watch Helena had always felt a slight resentment towards her husband Harry, even if she couldn't quite put her finger on why. Maybe it was the way he acted with an air of superiority, often when talking to her. Or perhaps it was the fact that he made just enough money to keep them comfortable, but not enough to truly satisfy Helena's lavish tastes. Whatever the reason, Helena was determined to find a way to improve their life. She had grown up in an upper-middle class family and was accustomed to a certain standard of living. The idea of scrimping and saving for years just to make ends meet was not familiar to her. One day, as Helena was tidying up the house, she found an old wooden box in the back of Harry's dresser drawer. Curious, she opened it and saw a beautifully ornate pocket watch. The metal casing gleamed in the soft light, and the ticking of the mechanism was almost soothing to her ears. Helena knew this watch must be valuable. She'd seen similar pieces in antique stores for hundreds, even thousands of dollars. With two young children to provide for, she started thinking that the extra money could make a world of difference. Without a second thought, she slipped the watch into her pocket and decided to sell it at the first opportunity. Over the next few days, Helena went to the local antique shops, but none of the owners seemed particularly interested in the watch. They all offered far less than she had hoped for. Finally, she decided to take it to a high-end auction house in the city. The day of the auction, Helena's heart raced with anticipation. She sat nervously in the plush leather chair, watching as the auctioneer described the watch in glowing terms. When the bidding began, she held her breath, barely daring to blink. The price climbed higher and higher, until finally the gavel came down, and the watch was sold for a shocking $50,000. She did not look at the buyer leaving the event with the watch. Helena couldn't believe her luck. With that kind of money, she could finally give her family some luxury they deserved. She would buy new clothes for all instead of having her older sister's family's hand-me-downs. Maybe they could even move to a bigger house, or buy new cars, or go on a trip to Europe. As she left the auction house, clutching the envelope of cash, Helena felt happy for the first time in a long time. But when Helena returned home, she found Harry sitting in his favorite chair, a somber expression on his face. "Where did you get that watch?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. Helena's heart sank. She had hoped to surprise him with the news of the money, but now it seemed she had been caught red-handed. "I found it in your dresser," she admitted. "It looked old, and I thought it might be worth something, so I took it to an auction house." Harry shook his head slowly. "That watch belonged to my grandfather. It was the only thing I have left of him. He gave it to me on his deathbed, made me promise to keep it safe and pass it down to my own son one day." Helena felt a sudden wave of guilt wash over her. She had been so blinded by her own greed and selfishness that she had completely disregarded the sentimental value of the watch. In her quest for material wealth, she had betrayed the trust of the man she claimed to love. "I'm so sorry, Harry," she stammered, her voice trembling. "I didn't know. I just thought... well, I thought it could make our lives better. I never meant to hurt you." Harry sighed deeply. "I know you've never been happy with our situation, Helena. But that watch was the one thing that kept me connected to my family, especially after leaving our country and moving tot he United States. It was a symbol of the values I want to pass on to our children." Helena felt the weight of her actions crushing her. She had sacrificed her husband's most cherished possession, all for the sake of her own selfish desires. In that moment, she realized that true happiness wasn't about material wealth, but about the relationships and memories we build with the people we love. As Harry rose from his chair and left the room without another word, Helena knew that she had damaged the trust between them. The pocket watch, once a symbol of a cherished family legacy, had become a painful reminder of her own greed. In the days that followed, Helena tried to make amends, but Harry remained distant and withdrawn. The once-vibrant household had become a sad, tense environment, and Helena knew that it was entirely her own doing. One evening, as she was tucking her children into bed, Helena caught a glimpse of the pocket watch sitting on Harry's nightstand. She stared at it, mesmerized by the way the light danced across its surface. In that moment, she was confused but realized that the true value of the watch lay not in its monetary worth, but in the memories and emotions it represented. With a heavy heart, Helena resolved to make things right. She knew that it would take time and effort to rebuild the trust she had shattered, but she was determined to try. As she closed the bedroom door behind her, she whispered a silent prayer, hoping that someday, she and Harry could find their way back to the love and understanding they once shared. QUESTION: Write a paragraph to continue the story after the end and in it, describe 2-3 ways (actions) in which Helena started rebuilding trust with Harry.
