Instead, she thought she could get a much cheaper one from a jewellery shop. Luckily, she 5 to buy another one that looked just like it. In fact, it was so similar that 6 in her family knew her real ring was missing.

She was 8 vegetables there when she found the ring. But this time it was a bit 9 —because there was a carrot growing right 10 the middle of it!

As soon as Colleen saw the ring, she knew who the 11 was. The farm had been in the family for over 100 years. And only two women had lived there all that time. So when Colleen found the story of the lost ring, 12 became clear that there was only one person it could possibly have belonged to (属于), and the ring was returned to Mary.
When Mary got the ring, she was full of 13. She decided to wear it again. So she 14 cut the carrot in half, washed the ring and put it back on her finger—and it still 15 perfectly!
