  1. The Finding of an Old Silver Ring

    Share Share Post
    One day about twenty-five years ago, my father had a man working for him. The man was thinning turnips. When he was thinning he found a silver ring. This ring was very thick. It was aged about two hundred years. Nora was written on it in block letters. My father had it for a long time, but one day he lost it.
