Last October,while tending her garden in Mora ,Sweden ,Lena Pahlsson  pulled out a handful ofsmall ____21____ (carrot) and wasabout to throw them away .But something made her look closer ,and she noticed a   ____22____(shine) object .Yes ,therebeneath the leafy top of one tiny carrot was her long-lost wedding ring.

Pahlsson screamed ___23_____ loudlythat her daughter came running from the house .“she thought I had hurt ___24_____(I),”says Pahlsson Sixteen years  ____25____(early),Pahlsson hadremoved the diamond ring ___26_____ (cook) a meal. When she wanted to put the ring back on later, it was gone. She suspected that one of her three daughters-then ten. eight, and six- had picked it up, but the girls said they hadn't. Pahlsson and her husband  ____27____ (search) the kitchen, checking every corner. but turned up nothing. “I gave up hope of finding my ring again," she says. She never replaced it. Pahlsson and her husband now think the ring probably got  ___28_____(sweep) into a pile of kitchen rubbish and was spread over the garden,  ____29____ it remained until the carrot’s leafy top accidentally sprouted (生长) through it. For Pahlsson, its return was ____30____ wonder.
