Lesson20 The Lost Ring
One day a man went home to his wife¹ and said²， “I have bought something for you!” “Oh， thank you!” said his wife． “What have you bought?”“I have bought a gold ring． Here it is!” He held it out for his wife to see． Then he dropped it． “Oh dear!” he said． “I have dropped it．”
He began to look for it on the floor but it was³ dark⁴ inside⁵ the house and he could⁶ not see anything． He went outside the house and began to look for the ring in the street． Just then a friend came⁷ along⁸． “What's the matter?” he asked． “I have lost a ring，” said the man． “Where did⁹ you lose¹⁰ it?” “I lost it inside my house．” “You lost your ring inside your house but you are looking for it outside in the street! That seems¹¹ very foolish¹²!” “Ah，” said the man， “but it is dark inside my house． I shall¹³ never find it there． But here in the street there is more light and I can see more clearly¹⁴．”

丢失的戒指
一天，有个男人回家对他的妻子说：“我给你买了件东西！” “噢，谢谢你！”他的妻子说。“你买了什么？”我买了一个金戒指。给你！”他拿在手上给妻子看。突然戒指掉在了地上。 “噢，亲爱的！”他说，“我把戒指弄掉了。”
他开始在地板上寻找，但屋里黑暗，什么也看不见。他走出屋子，开始在街道上寻找。正在此时，他的一个朋友走了过来。 “怎么了？”他问。 “我丢了一个戒指，”男人回答。 “在哪里丢的？” “在我的屋里丢的。” “你在屋里丢了戒指，却到外面的街道上找！这太愚蠢了！” “啊，”男人说，“我的屋里太黑了，在那里永远找不到。而街道上亮多了，我能看得更清楚些。”
