This story reminds me of the relationship that I have with one of my grandmothers. Clara just wanted to try on her grandmothers special hat that she has always admired. When the opportunity came Clara took the hat without permission and ended up destroying it. Clara tried her hardest to fix the damage, but the hat was just not the same.
