I love beautiful scenery as much as others do,but I have always focused downwards wherever I walk.I love finding unexpected treasures—the habit likely goes back to my childhood.Even today,I engage in this obsession while walking the dog up and down the river park,Don Valley.
In January 2019,a few days after an unusually heavy snowfall,I was struggling through the Don Valley as usual with my dog.Snow days are not the best for treasure hunting,so I was surprised to see a shiny gold beneath the snow near the bottom of a hill.I carefully took out a ring decorated with a Cartier logo.I walked into the local coffee shop nearby to see if anybody had reported lost jewelry.Sadly,they had no news,so I headed home to print up flyers(傳單)to post around the neighborhood.I also tried a local Facebook group.
I waited and waited but nobody called to lay claim to my small treasure.After putting it on the shelf,I eventually forgot all about it.That is,until many months later when our daughter Katie came back home for holiday.She happened to see the ring when reaching a book.With far better eyesight,she soon noticed the tiny letters on the inside of the ring that read, "Omar and Yoshi." It was so obviously important to them.I promise to do whatever I could to track down this couple.
We searched through years of wedding notices but there was nothing on record for those two names.Frustrated,I began to give up hope,then had one last thought:why not call Cartier stores in the city?I called one store.An understandably confused gentleman listened to my story,went silent for a moment and then stated that the ring was totally untraceable(無跡可尋的).He apologized,and I was about to hang up when he suddenly asked if I had found a name on the ring.I told him just the first name,Omar.
"Omar?" he said excitedly. "Omar and Yoshi?"
After nearly a whole year,I finally made it to return my small treasure to Omar and Yoshi.

1.There was once a captain.jye.ai loved money so much that he cheated(欺騙)his sailors(水手)at the end of every voyage(遠航)and took their wages(工資).
On the last day of one voyage,the ship was in a small port.It was winter time,and these a was very cold,so the captain said to his sailors, "If one of you stays in the water during the whole night,I will give him my ship.But if he comes out before the sun appears,I shall get his wages."
