It was a sunny Saturday. Eleven-year-old Emma felt 1 —it was the neighborhood yard sale day. She loved finding special treasures among people's old things.
After breakfast, Emma went out with her chore 2 . The first yard looked interesting—tables piled with books, toys and more. Emma noticed an old carved wooden box under a table. "How much 3 this box?" she asked the owner. The elderly man replied, Oh, that old thing? You can have it for a quarter." Emma happily 4 her money and took the box. As she continued 5 , she found other good deals too.
At home, Emma admired the box's wonderful designs. She always liked hand-made things like this. Suddenly, the box bottom opened up! 6 fell out—a shiny silver locket (吊坠盒) on a beautiful chain. She 7 picked it up, admiring it. Emma thought the locket must have special value. She couldn't 8 it. The next day, Emma returned to the same yard sale. "Excuse me sir, I think this locket fell into the box I bought. I wanted to return it in case it's 9 to your family," Emma explained. The man's eyes widened. "Why, this was my wife's! She passed away last year. I'm so grateful (感激) you brought this back." He gave Emma a warm 10 .
Emma felt proud for doing the right thing. Her mom would be pleased she returned the locket instead of keeping it. A true treasure is something earned through good character.
