胡萝卜上的钻戒
Woman finds long-lost diamond ring on
carrot in garden
A Canadian
woman got an extra carrot with her diamond ring when it was found in her
vegetable patch 13 years after she lost it.
Mary Grams,
84, was devastated when she lost the ring while weeding on the family farm in
Alberta in 2004.
But she had
kept the ring's loss a secret from all but her son for more than a decade.
On Monday,
her daughter-in-law discovered the secret - and the ring - when she pulled up a
lumpy carrot.
The carrot
had grown straight through the ring, enabling it to be plucked out after many
years hiding in the soil.
She had decided not to tell her husband when she lost it, out of
embarrassment, but she told her son.
She went out
and bought a slightly cheaper replacement ring, and carried on as if nothing
had happened.
"Maybe
I did the wrong thing, but you get so worked up," she said.
No one was
the wiser, until this week when her daughter-in-law Colleen Daley decided she
wanted some carrots for supper.
Ms Daley,
who now lives on the farm where Mrs Grams used to live, went to harvest vegetables
in the garden. Lo and behold, she spotted the ring while washing a rather lumpy
carrot.
Her son
instantly knew who the ring must belong to, and called his mother.
Looking
back, Mrs Grams said she wishes she had told her husband, who died five years
ago.
He was a
joker, she said, and probably would have found this whole situation pretty
funny.
Now that she
has it back, she said she will be more careful.
"If I
am going outside or anything I am going to put it in a safe space. That is what
I should have done," she said.
This is not
the first time someone has found a diamond ring on a carrot. In 2011, a Swedish
woman found her wedding ring 16 years after she lost it.

科技时代
记者：马云推出无人超市了，您怎么看？
大妈：那啥？超市都没人啦，那还不关门干嘛？
记者：大妈，无人超市不是没有人这个意思，而是说，超市里没有售货员收银员等等员工了。
大妈：那应该叫无员工超市啊！哎，就你们这语文水平，还当记者呢？
记者：是是，大妈说得对，应该叫无员工超市。大妈，那您对这种新型的超市有什么看法呢？
大妈：超市不需要养员工了，那东西是不是更便宜啦？
记者：这个？我们暂时还没了解到。
大妈：瞧瞧你们这些记者怎么当的？老百姓最关心的问题，你们不去了解，整天只会关心马云又弄啥玩意了。我们老百姓最关心的是什么？有没有假货，是不是更便宜啦！超市里有没有员工，关我啥事？
记者：您不觉得无人超市的推出将会改变我们传统的购物方式吗？
大妈：改变啥哟？买东西不花钱啦？刷刷支付宝那也是花钱呐！
记者：大妈，看来您还是不能理解时代的发展潮流。
大妈：哟，弄个没有员工的超市就是时代潮流啦？每天都弄些专门裁剪底层员工的玩意算啥本事？有本事弄个没有老板的超市啊？要不弄个没有公务员的政府啊？
记者：大妈，您对马云是不是有意见啊？
大妈：我不是对马云有意见，是对你这种无聊的记者有意见，问问题从来都问不到点。马云改变了我们的生活，但我们要的不仅仅是改变，而是带来幸福的改变。现在很多改变不仅没有增添我们的幸福，还增添了许多烦恼！这才是你们记者应该关注的问题。
记者：我晕！
