Onyx the Gem Collector
There is a woman named Onyx and she liked to collect gems. Many rubies as well as emeralds. This was a good way for Onyx to live. She sold apples in the afternoon day light to brothers and sisters around the special gold mine that she once owned but sadly sold for more peridot gems. I thought that Onyx was a fun woman, but sadly as she sold her mine, she no longer had gold to place her gems in settings. She sold gems alone without any jewelry fastenings to contain them. This was ok but sadly, noone ever remembered her name or her treasures. I didn't miss Onyx when she left the block one day. I just never thought of her much in my years. If she lives a great life, that is wonderful. But really, what do you do if you sell your Gold mine for Peridot? Peridot is a nice jewel, but its really not as valued as a ruby or an emerald. It is nice on necklaces, but you really dont enjoy it unless its fixed in a golden ornamental fixture. So Onyx, dear Onyx, find your way and buy that gold mine back I hope. Be a good jewel seller but don't sweat the future. Its the day you need to be thinking of, of course!
