阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。    

Paula is a 55-year-old woman living in New Jersey.She lives a happy life without concern for financial or social problems and she constantly shares laughs with her family and friends.

About ten years ago，her husband Michael gave her a gold ring with a diamond in it on their 20th wedding anniversary. She cherished it very much and wore it every day.    

Having been married for almost 30 years，Paula had everything set for herself，and knew that her life in New Jersey was a thrilling one.

One day，Paula was in the bathroom cleaning everything up，from the sink to the floor. She wanted to keep her house clean and beautiful. As soon as Paula finished washing the bathtub，she moved on to the part she feared most：the toilet.

Wanting to get it out of the way，she quickly cleaned the inside of the toilet with a brush，and flushed （冲走） the soap away.

After finishing，she felt there was something wrong，but she couldn't think of what it was.    

Paula's heart skipped a beat when she noticed that her left ring finger felt a bit lighter. She slowly looked down at her ring finger，hoping that her treasured anniversary gift was still on it.

She was frightened to see that it was lost.

She didn't notice that she flushed it down the toilet.    

Paula said， "I must have flushed it down.It had been a little big on my finger，because it was winter time and my hands were smaller.I felt so bad about it. Sad and embarrassed."    

She couldn't believe that she just let thousands of dollars go down the drain（下水道），literally.

She searched the bathroom and even the house，hoping that she just dropped it somewhere and forgot about it.

She even took apart the toilet and searched the inside pipes with a flashlight，but in vain.

Paula had no idea how to explain this to her husband.

To buy the ring，Michael worked extra hard before the anniversary，so to tell him the bad news was unimaginable for Paula.
