Giselle could say no by explaining a few key points:
1. **Values and Integrity**: Giselle could express that stealing is wrong and goes against her personal values. She might say something like, "I don't believe in stealing, no matter what."
2. **Consequences**: Giselle could discuss the potential consequences of stealing, such as getting caught, facing legal trouble, and damaging their reputations. She could say, "What if we get caught? It could really hurt us both."
3. **Friendship**: Giselle might tell Tiffany that true friends wouldn’t ask each other to do something illegal or unethical. She could say, "If you’re my friend, you wouldn’t want to put me in that position."
4. **Alternatives**: Giselle could suggest finding a legal way to get the necklace, such as saving up money or looking for a similar, more affordable option. She might say, "What if we save up together or look for something similar?"
By addressing these points, Giselle can firmly yet compassionately explain her decision not to steal the necklace.
