    Another little story of lost and found, amazing and true.  Long ago
    two dear friends were walking in the Bois du St. Cucufa outside
    Paris, France.  Each had a small son in tow and it was an early
    fall, shiny and crisp day.  The boys toddled along and when they
    began to tire the mother's came to rest under a very, very large
    tree.  After fifteen minutes or so they decided to turn and go back
    the way they came, but not before taking out a camera and snapping
    shots of each other and the boys. Up the trail they went for some
    distance, when one suddenly realized there were rough and empty
    prongs on her hand which had, until then, contained a very nice 6mm
    blue sapphire.  It was one of a matched pair set with small diamonds
    that was given to celebrate her sixteenth birthday.  Well, you can
    imagine her upset.  In spite of friend's insistance that it would be
    futile and tiring to go back, she did just that - at a trot -
    searching the trail but somehow most intent on reaching that great
    tree.  In it's shade she crouched to all fours, trying to remember
    her exact position as she stood posing for a photo.  And, there it
    was.  Impossible - with a French accent.  And yes, the ring was
    mine.
