My Treasure

My treasure is invisible. I have never thought seriously about my treasure. It is difficult for me to find the most important things.

When I was a child, I had two treasures. One is a bracelet which bought before I graduated. My friends and I went shopping for our farewell party. We had some performances then. For example, singing and dancing. My elementary school is part of the junior high school so everyone except me moved up to the same school. But I had to come back to Japan. There was my favorite small store near my apartment when I lived in France. I took my friends there. At the time we found a very cute bracelet. In an instant we have really took to the design. We bought it as a lucky charm for our performance. And after that we went to the toy shop near our school bus stop. It is first time to go little far without our parents…only us children. I was all excited at the thought of it. The bracelet became precious thing filled with memories of that time. And yet, what could have happened? I had lost it as soon as I came back home.

And the other is the stuffed toy dog. It is very small because I like collecting such things. I was playing at keeping house with my brother. He had a lot of toy cars. We used it and played with it in all day. I had brought it everywhere I went. But it is too small to carry about the small with me. I carelessly dropped it somewhere. I was very sad.

Treasure always is gone before I know and I am reminded of them sometimes. A thing can be lost but memories are indelible. Those memories are my invisible treasure.
