One evening, I went out for a walk on the path (小路) near my house with my husband. On my finger was a very special ring with a diamond (钻石) that my grandmother gave me for my 23rd birthday. At the end of the path, when I looked down at it again and found the diamond was ______. I started back along the path hurriedly ______ the tiny stone. In my heart, I knew it seemed impossible for me to find it. The path was very long and ______ with leaves. As I searched the ground, crying and upset, I met an old lady. “What’s the matter, love ?” She asked kindly. I______

about the missing diamond and showed her my ring. She said, “That’s going to be hard to find. Tell me what, love, I walk along this path every day, I’ll keep my eyes ______ for it.” I thanked her, ______ nothing, but still told her that we sometimes walked our dog along the path if she might find something.

A few days later, my husband and I met the old lady on the path. “Guess what?” She said, “I found your diamond!” To our ______, she’d found the tiny stone and was willing to hand it back to me. “It was lucky that I found it.” When we ______ her with some money for her help, she ______

politely. I was deeply moved. She could have easily kept the diamond, or sold it, for it’s worth several thousand dollars, but she didn’t.

Every time I look at my ring and ______ myself that there’re kind and beautiful hearts in the world. I’ll spend the rest of my life trying to do something like that.
