Write Tribe Prompt # 3 Hundred words on Saturday Beauty or purity?

Malini went to a jeweller's shop to purchase   a diamond ring. The salesman showed her many rings.  He  praised the authenticity  of each   diamond   Malini  could not decide.As she was leaving the store, the owner  offered her a seat and cold drink. He  took the ring,which she had liked most, and said that he too loved the ring. Malini was impressed and bought the ring. She asked him how could he sell the ring which the salesman could not. He said,"The salesman  stressed on the purity of the diamond  but I fascinated you by its beauty".

    2. I missed the blog world too and still not able to catch up on all the un read posts...we are relocating to a different state and I am taking care of almost everything single handedly...hence the disappearance. I am editing each one of my drafts and posting so that my blog doesn't go dormant :)
