One sunny day, I decided to go for a walk with my husband. I was wearing a special _______ ring that day. It was my 20th birthday gift from my grandmother.
As we were walking in the park, I just looked _______ at my hand and found the diamond on my ring was missing. I was really _______, so I went back to look for it. I knew how small the chances were of finding it, but I still wanted to give it a try.
As I was fixing my eyes on the ground, I bumped into (撞到) an old gentleman _______.
“What’s the matter, love?” he asked nicely.
“Sorry that I bumped into you,” I said. “But I lost something important. I’m really nervous.”
I explained about the missing diamond and showed him the _______ in my ring.
“That’s not going to be easy to find it,” he said. “Tell you what, love, I take a walk here every day. I’ll _______ my eyes open for it.”
I thanked him, expecting _______. However, a few days later, my husband and I met the old man again in the park.
“Guess what,” he said. “I found your diamond!”
I couldn’t believe what I saw when the gentleman handed the diamond back to me. Then my husband _______ him money for his help, but he refused.
As the diamond is worth several thousand dollars, the old man could have easily kept the diamond _______ sold it, but he did neither of these.
Now thanks to this man, I always look at my ring and remind ________ that there are still kind and generous souls out there. I’ll spend more time trying to do something equally nice for other people.
