A Magical Ring

Donnie is 60 years old.  He owns an antique shop in America.  An antique shop sells things that are very old.  If the object is in good condition, people will buy it.  Donnie likes his work because he meets interesting people every day.  He has been married for 38 years and his wife’s name is Darlene.  Both of them wear their wedding rings all the time.

Last month, Donnie went to work in the morning while Darlene visited her parents.  Donnie was cleaning some valuable old coins when two young men walked in.  Donnie thought it was strange because his customers are usually older men.  The two men were very interested in Donnie’s old coins.  They asked him questions about other things at the shop but at the end, they wanted to know more about the coins.

When Donnie turned around to get some more antique coins, one of the two men took out a gun and pointed it at Donnie’s face.  The man said “Give me all your money!”  Donnie didn’t have a choice so he gave him all the money he had in the store.  He even gave them the antique coins.  It wasn’t enough so the bad guy shot Donnie.  Luckily Donnie put his hand up and the bullet hit his wedding ring.  His ring saved his life! The two men ran away with the money and coins. Donnie lost a lot of money but that doesn’t matter because he was not hurt. 

Donnie is really lucky to be alive.  Darlene thinks that all married men should wear their rings all the time because they have magical powers.  Donnie wants to sell his store now because he doesn’t want to be robbed again.
