The Price of Being Right | graded reader | Improve your English
*The Most Expensive Thing I Own Is My Silence.* I have a granddaughter I have never met, a son-in-law I wouldn't recognize on the street, and a phone that hasn't rung with my daughter's ringtone in six years. I thought I was winning a battle of wills. I thought I was teaching her a lesson about respect. *I was wrong.* This is a *very interesting English Story* about a man who built a fortress of wealth but forgot to build a home. It is a cautionary tale for anyone who has ever chosen their pride over the people they love. *In This Story:* *The Trap of Pride:* Why I treated my family like a business negotiation where I held all the leverage. *The Breaking Point:* I told myself she would break first, forgetting that love is the only contract that becomes void the moment you try to enforce it. *The Silent Tuesday:* It didn't end with a funeral or a catastrophe. It ended with four simple words I was too proud to say. --- *Practice Your English with This Story* 🎧 This video is designed for those looking to *learn English through story**.
