THE RING AND THE FISH

Thomas and Inger, who live in Sweden, are the happiest couple in the world. Two years ago, they
were on a boat a few kilometres from the beach. Thomas asked Inger to marry him and he gave her
a gold ring. He wanted to put the ring on Inger´s finger, but he dropped it and it fell into the sea.
They were sure the ring was lost for ever.

That is, until last week, when Mr Carlsson visited them. He has a fish shop and he found the ring in
a large fish which he was cutting up for one of his customers. The fish thought the ring was
something to eat! Mr Carlsson knew that the ring belonged to Thomas and Inger because inside the
ring there were some words. They were, “To Inger, All my love, Thomas”. And so Mr Carlsson gave
the ring back to them.

Inger now has two rings. When they lost the first one, Thomas bought Inger another one. But they
think the one the fish ate is the best one.
