Solution

Mme Loisel was the kind of person who had enough but was not satisfied with it. She always thought she was born for all delicacies and luxuries but through an error of destiny, she happened to be born into a family of clerks. Even when she was invited to a grand party, instead of being happy she was sad and furious because she had nothing to wear. If she had been satisfied with whatever she had, she and her husband would not have to face such a huge tragedy in the future. We should always be happy and satisfied with whatever we have. God and destiny always have good things for her.
