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 1. I started back along the path hurriedly 2 the tiny stone, In my heart, I knew it seemed impossible for me to find it. The path was very long and covered with leaves. As I searched the ground, crying and 3 , I met an old lady. "What's the matter, love?" She asked 4. I explained about the missing diamond and showed her my ring. She said, "That's going to be hard to find. Tell me what the diamond looks like, love. I walk along this path every day and I'll keep my 5 open for it." I thanked her, 6 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 surprise, she'd found the tiny stone and was willing to hand it back to me. "It was 7 that I found it." When we provided her with some money for her help, she 8 politely. I was deeply moved. She could have easily kept the diamond, or sold it, for it's worth several thousand dollars, 9 she didn't.
Every time I look at my ring and 10 myself that there are kind and beautiful hearts in the world. I'll spend the rest of my life trying to do something like that.
