[originaltext] You see, my mother had this ring. It was kind of old, but it’s

You see, my mother had this ring. It was kind of old, but it’s a treasure. It had been given to her before her wedding by her mother, my grandmother. It had been in our family for years, twenty or thirty or even longer, I am not sure. Anyway, my mother asked me to take it to the jeweler’s to get it repaired. She told me to be very careful with it.
   Later that day, I dropped the ring off at the jeweler’s and ran off to do the rest of my errands. It was a busy day, and I was feeling really crazy. I had to get back to the jeweler’s before they closed at 5 pm and pick up the ring.
   I got to the jeweler’s at about a quarter to five, paid for the ring, and raced home. It was getting pretty late. But when I went to give my mother the ring, the worst thing happened. I couldn’t find it. I checked for it everywhere! You can imagine how panicked I felt. Up until then, I had never lost anything important. I didn’t know what to do.
   Just then, the phone rang. It was the jeweler’s. They were calling to say I had run out of the store in such a hurry that I’d forgotten to take the ring! They still had the ring at their store. So, the ring wasn’t lost after all. What a relief! Thank God!
