Two moral values that can be learned
from the story of “The Fruitcake Special” are “honesty” and
“superficiality versus substance”.
Honesty is important. We should be
honest with ourselves and to others. This moral value can be learned from
Anna. Anna knew who she was. She did not listen to David Amos’ compliments (meaning:
pujian). She was suspicious (meaning: curiga) about his compliments until she
found out that it was the fruitcake perfume that made Amos fell in love with
her. Anna also did not take advantage of Amos and the waiter when they fell in
love with her because of the fruitcake. She told the waiter not to act
foolishly. This shows that Anna was an honest person.
Substance is more important that
superficiality. In a relationship, we should be sincere and not be attracted by
physical appearance. For example, Amos liked only young and beautiful girls
with model look. On the other hand, Armstrong fell in love with Anna for who
she was and not just for her appearance. Armstrong's love for Anna was true and he worked hard to build a pizza company to prove to Anna that he was a worthy gentleman.
(Note: Write the events that happened in the story in PAST TENSE, because they already happened in the past.)
