THE RING
One sunny morning Gary came out of the ocean and noticed that his wedding ring was missing.
He thought it was either lying somewhere on the sandy beach or, perhaps, he had lost it while
swimming. Although it seemed useless, Gary and his friends spent some time searching for
the ring all over the beach. They had no luck and Gary gave up hope. He realized there was
little chance of finding it.
The ring was not valuable. Gary wasn’t a wealthy man when he got married, and he could not
afford expensive things. Still, the ring had great sentimental value for him. His wife’s name was
on it. So was the date of their marriage, 5th June, 2003. Maria and Gary had been married for
fifteen years and Gary had never lost his wedding ring until that day on the beach.
The place where Gary was spending his holiday was called Portsalon, a seaside resort
in Ireland. Ann Busch and her two daughters were on holiday there too. The girls were building
sandcastles with their mum watching them. The last thing they expected to find was a piece of
jewellery. But they did - a wedding ring with a date and the name Maria on it. They threw it
back in the sand, without looking at it carefully, and continued playing, but their mum saw it
and picked it up to have a closer look. She got really interested in it and started to wonder
who had lost it. Ann thought it would be impossible to find the owner, but with a name and
a date on it there was always a chance. She asked local people if they knew a woman called
Maria or recognized the date. But without success. Then, Ann photographed the ring and
posted it on Facebook, hoping that someone would contact her. A week later her post had
been shared more than 4,300 times. That was much more than she had expected.
Many people contacted her, wondering if it was the ring they had lost in Portsalon.
She discovered that plenty of rings had been lost there.
At first it all looked promising, but over the next few weeks Ann still could not find the owner
of the ring. Then, one day a man sent her a message on Facebook and told her that after
examining the picture of the ring, he was sure it belonged to his brother-in-law! After checking
some details, Ann sent the ring back to its owner. She was delighted to find him and for Gary
it was great to have the ring back. In his email to Ann he wrote, “It was such a nice feeling
for me and my wife to go from thinking it was gone forever to seeing it again.”
