Love Off the shores of the Atlantic Coast in South Carolina, was a man by the name of Jeremiah. Jeremiah was a very shy, but adventurous man. In addition to doing small cleaning duties at the local market, he loved to explore the ocean. Jeremiah didn’t have a stable income, but when he saved enough he bought himself some scuba gear. To him that was his second job. He always found exciting valuables on the oceans floor, such as old artifacts, which he kept.
He also would find many jewels such as gold, rubies and sapphires. Having not much of an interest in jewelry, he sold them cheap to the local jewelry store. Although, there was one gem he always wished he could have; Theresa Stone, the jewelry store owner. Her eyes gleamed like the morning sun. She had the body of an Olympic Goddess. Her hair was smooth like rabbit’s fur. She had it all going for her. But Jeremiah, so madly in love, was always too star struck to make a move. “G-good m-morning Ms. Stone” stuttered Jeremiah. “Oh good morning Jeremiah! Find any stones this morning? ” said Ms. Stone in excitement. U-uh yes! Yes I did. I found a small ruby. ” “Excellent! How much you want for it? ” asked Theresa. “O-oh no charge Ms. Stone. ” said Jeremiah. He wanted to tell her that being in her presence was more than any amount of money she could have paid him, but of course he thought too low of himself. “Jeremiah… ” Theresa said shaking her head. “You can’t keep giving me free valuables like they are worth nothing! I’ve seen where you live, you must need the money. ” She was right and Jeremiah knew it. Jeremiah lived in an old, rusty shack down by the beach. The shack looked as if it was beaten down by giants.

Jeremiah had been giving Theresa most the gems and valuables he found while diving for free for quite some time now. Just hoping that one day she would realize how madly in love he was. “Ms. Stone my income in fine and these treasures are gifts out of respect I have for you. ” Said Jeremiah with a face as red as a tomato. “Oh well Jeremiah I appreciate the gifts. They’re always beautiful and elegant. ” “O-of course Ms. Stone-“ “Please Jeremiah, call me Theresa” “Of course Theresa… Have a fine day. ” Jeremiah said with a grin of pure happiness. As Jeremiah left the store he heard a voice call him name.
It was Theresa bolting out of the store. “Jeremiah! ” exclaimed Theresa. “Could I ask you a favor, and I know you do already so much but this would mean a lot. ” Anxious to hear the proposition Theresa was about to lie on the table, he nodded. “Could you by chance find me a pearl from an oyster? I-I’ve never seen one and we don’t carry pearls in our store. I just thought if you by chance see one.. ” “Oh of course! ” shouted Jeremiah. I find them all the time! I’ll have one to you by the weekend! ” And with a smile as big as the Eiffel Tower, she turned and headed back into the store. The problem was, although only Jeremiah knew it, he lied.
He has never in all his years of scuba diving found a precious pearl from an oyster. Puzzled, Jeremiah was trying to understand why he lied to Theresa. Surely she should have known how rare it is to find a pearl from an oyster around these shores. Mostly these shores are known for collecting treasures not producing them. Today was Wednesday. If Jeremiah really wanted to win Theresa heart he had to complete this obscene task. He also didn’t want to find any ordinary pearl; he wanted to find the most impressive pearl a woman have ever seen. When he arrived at his home he stood in front of the shack, thinking back on Theresa’s words. I’ve seen where you live, you must need the money. ” Jeremiah took a glance around the shack. Parts of the roof missing, holes in the floors, water barely dripping. “Maybe I really do need the money…” He said to himself. He grabbed his scuba gear and set off for the long journey of underwater adventure. Walking to the shore, he still pondered the thought of; “What if I really did keep all those treasures and sold them? I could have so much more. ” But then he came back into reality, and knew that if sacrificing all that money meant acquiring Theresa’s love, then it’s worth it.
The Essay on Pearl In Sletter
What is the greatest sin that can be committed by a human being? Is it murder, robbery, or something else? There is no exact answer to this question; it depends on one's own view of sin.

Spending days in and out of the water, Jeremiah had found many treasures, more than he would acquire in maybe 3 months at a time, but still no pearls. He had searched oyster after oyster, but still nothing. He had found a couple small pearls but he wanted to impress Theresa with one so dazzling, it looked as if it belongs to a queen. It was Friday morning and Jeremiah went to set off one last time. He flipped up oyster after oyster, nothing. He became so frustrated and so determined he began ignoring all other treasures he laid his eyes on, only in search of the precious pearl.
Oyster after oyster he began to become dissatisfied and upset that he could not please the women he loves. As he was about to come up to the surface he spotted one last oyster shell. He picked it up and threw it in frustration. After the cloud of sand vanished, there lay, one of the most gorgeous things he ever laid eyes on. It was the pearl. This wasn’t just any pearl. This pearl was big. He swam over to the oyster and picked it up. He rushed to the surface of the water because he knew the store where Theresa would be waiting was about to close for the night.
He got out of the water, dried off the water from his body, grabbed and polished the pearl, and rushed to the store. When he reached the store Theresa was just closing down, and her head hanging in disappointment. Jeremiah banged on the door in excitement. “Theresa! Theresa! ” exclaimed Jeremiah. With a great grin on her face she rushed to open the door. Jeremiah barged in and showed her the pearl. “I have here the second most beautiful thing I have ever seen. ” Said Jeremiah “What’s the first? ” Theresa said in curiousity. “You. ” Jeremiah then pulled her in close, and gave her the kiss he been dreaming of all his life.
