Rock on, Mr. and Mrs. Påhlsson. And thanks for reminding me that the horses get carrots tonight.

What a cheapskate! If he had given her a cigar band she would have at least had something to show people. ;-)

Great story, with a happy ending.

After all, she could have found a different ring...

Since it was unlikley to grow I think she was hoping for a better one from this cheap chump!
