　　That evening her brother Tom was eating some cakes．“Who made these cakes?” he said,“They are excellent．”

　　“I made them,”Mary said．She was pleased that her brother liked them．Mary liked cooking very much．

　　“Are there any?”Tom started to ask．Then he stopped suddenly．He opened his mouth and took a ring out．“Where did this come from?”he asked．“This is a strange type of cake!”

　　Mary was pleased．“My ring!”she said, she took it to the kitchen．She washed it and then went back and thanked her brother．

　　“I’m sorry you had a surprise,” she said, but thank you very much for finding my ring．I’ll cook some more cakes for you tomorrow as a reward．
