A woman bought a beautiful and relatively expensive fourteen-karat gold cross with the express intention of giving it away to the first person who admired it. Two days later in a bookstore a gentleman admired the cross. She took it from her neck and offered it to him.

"Oh, I couldn’t take it. Why, it’s very expensive."

"I insist. Anyway, you won’t have it long. There’s a catch to my gift."

"What’s that?"

"You must give it to the first person who admires it."

Under that condition, the man took the cross. The woman later said she had no idea where the cross was but that she knew it had blessed many and that it continues to bless her.
