"It's Aunt Lu's
diamond ring. It was in the lobster claw, and it came out when the claw
broke. Oh, Aunt Lu! I've found your diamond ring!"
Aunt Lu fairly rushed over to Bunny. She took from his hand the shiny,
glittering thing he had picked up from the barn floor.
"Yes, it IS my lost diamond ring!" she cried. "Oh, where was it?"
"Down inside the lobster claw, that I had on my nose," Bunny said. "Only
I didn't know it was there."
"And no one would have known it if it had not broken," said Mrs. Brown.
"How lucky to have found it."
Aunt Lu slipped the diamond ring on her finger. It glittered brighter
than ever.
"I see how it all happened," she said. "That day when I was helping pick
the meat out of the big lobster, my ring must have slipped from my hand,
and fallen down inside the empty claw. It went away down to the small
end, and there it was held fast, just as Bunny's foot was caught in the
hollow tree one day."
"Are you glad, Aunt Lu?" asked Bunny.
"Glad? I'm more glad than I ever was in my life!" and she hugged and
kissed him, and Sue also.
