One day newly-wedded (结婚的) Nancy lost her ring when they were busy working in their fields to plant potatoes. Friends were called and the field was searched long but in vain (无效地). Later, when the potatoes were harvested everyone looked out for the ring but it remained lost. Another year came round and all the farmers working in the fields kept their eyes open.
The following year was the same. And year after year, whoever had business in the fields always had Nancy's ring in his mind.
Then the farm changed hands but it went no further than to cousins (表兄弟). So the memory of the lost ring remained alive until thirty-eight years had passed. Then came a spring day when a man was ploughing (耕地) the field behind a pair of horses. Even after thirty-eight years he still looked out for the ring, and knew just which part of the field Nancy had lost it in. At this time, when he came there, he found it.
