That necklace ..... is MINE!!! (A Storytelling Contest)

Once upon a time, there lived a fair lady ... wait, what am I talking about? *coughs*, Here’s the story: One day after working for most of the day, Nada felt tired and decided to settle down her heavy butt at the tavern.  Not long after, sudden anger washed all over her as she had been waiting for a good 10 minutes and didn't see even a single Tavern servant come out to take the order.  Thus, she stood up and because there was no one to be kicked, she kicked the table instead: huffed and puffed angrily, and hurt her own foot (what a 'lucky' day), she moves to the kitchen to make her own tea.  But then! her eyes caught on something shiny from the shelf. She took careful steps towards the shelf and found a slightly opened box and took the box from the shelf.  She gasped in surprise after she opened the box and found a brightly shining pearl necklace in that dusty box.  But because Nada not only is beautiful and pretty and charming, but also incredibly honest (smiles innocently *winks*), she restrained herself from taking that pearl necklace for herself and decided to find the owner of the necklace.

But the question is who??  After asking several handsome and wealthy-looking citizens (forget the handsome part) everyone claimed to be the owner of the beautiful and no doubt expensive necklace!!  Thus, Nada announced.........

"Whoever comes to me with a most convincing story that he or she is the true owner of the necklace will get to claim the necklace and will get a reward of 1000 gold coins!!"
