"How come the boys always get to go somewhere But we have to stay here?" Toby, my cousin, complained．Soon we had an idea of finding a hidden treasure, but we had to find out how to make this happen．We went upstairs to my parents' bedroom which was always tidy and smelled like my mother's perfume．Opening the silver lid of the glass jar, we looked nervously inside and removed my mother's pretty pearl ring and diamond ring．Mom only wore them when she got dressed up to go somewhere, so Toby believed she wouldn't miss them．We wrapped them up tightly in toilet paper and quickly ran out into the big field where we often pretended to ride wild horses．

We brought along a big kitchen spoon to dig a hole and buried the rings．"Don't tell anyone．" Toby made me promise．For some unknown reason we forgot to go back later．

It was almost a week before my mother realized her rings were missing and she was driven mad．The look on my face must have been a dead give-away and it wasn't long before I told the whole story about my adventure with Toby．Only then did I realize the seriousness of my crime．

"Show me where," my mother demanded．So off we went for the rings．But I couldn't remember exactly where! We dug in several places without success．Eventually we gave up, and amazingly my mother didn't shout at me．

One day about six years later, a farmer found a pearl ring in the soil and he kindly handed it over to my mother, who was overjoyed．This discovery started an exciting new search．But the other was never discovered．

Many years later, I noticed my sister wearing the pearl ring．When I asked my mother how, she answered, "Well, I always planned to give my good rings to my daughters someday and you were supposed to get the diamond one!"
