She was the one with the auburn hair. Yes, she was the one I wanted. I didn’t want just any old doll. I wanted someone special to cherish. I wanted a friend to talk to about everything. She was the one I chose.Mother took me to the store to pick out my new doll that I had saved so long for. I had done chores for Ms. Gretchen, who lived across the street, for an entire month. I had exactly ten dollars to spend. I couldn’t have one of the dolls that my friends had, for they were far too expensive. I searched and searched around the store until I layed eyes on the most beautiful doll I had ever seen. She had beautiful pale blue eyes and the smoothest auburn hair I had ever seen. The only thing wrong with her was that she was missing a leg.I knew that this defect would surely drop the original price down to a fraction. I was very brave and went straight up to the counter to ask the price. The clerk told me that the doll would cost exactly ten dollars. Mother asked me if I was sure. I was sure..
