I learned a valuable lesson today; that cheapest is dearest. How can the cheapest thing become the dearest thing? Its because the cheapest thing usually has an inferior quality and wouldn’t last.

I have a story for Children Fiction Books to show how the cheapest became the dearest for me. Mother bought one of the cheapest alarm clocks for me to use on my study desk. The clock was made in a third world country and exported to the west. It was cheap, or maybe one of the cheapest clocks in the store.

Mother wanted to save some money so she bought it because it was one of the cheapest available in the shop at that point of time when she was shopping there.

I was happy to receive a new alarm clock. I didn’t care when Mom told me it was the cheapest clock on the shelf. I knew the value of money and how hard Mom worked to earn some dough. A clock is a clock, be it the cheapest or the dearest.

My snobby friends at school would probably laugh at me for using the cheapest clock in the market but I didn’t care for their opinions. After all, they weren’t the ones who had to toil and slave for money.

The cheapest clock didn’t endure. It went crazy after a few days. I tried to take it apart to repair it but that only made it worse. Mom had to buy another clock for me. The cheapest clock became one of the dearest clocks as Mom had to sink in more money to buy a new replacement.
