Romance...without a ring!
A couple from Colorado USA had a big surprise last Saturday when they lost a $4,000 ring at the top of a mountain.
Derek Monnig, 33, bought the diamond ring for his girlfriend, Debra Sweeney, 34, to celebrate their engagement. He wanted to ask her to marry him in a very romantic place, so they walked slowly in the snow to the top of the Rocky Mountains. They stopped and Derek said, 'I have something for you. Honey, I love you. Will you marry me?'
Suddenly, he took the ring out of his pocket and started to put it on her finger. But the ring fell into the snow near Debra's boot. They started to look for it, and other people came quickly to help them, but they couldn't find it, so they called the ski patrol. Seven more men came to help. They spent two hours with them trying to find the ring. The next day the couple went back to the mountain with a metal detector, but they never found it.
Debra wasn't too unhappy. 'It's much better to lose the ring than the guy,' she said. And luckily the ring was insured .
b Write T (True) or F (False).
