10-2 The Prize Hare 奖品兔子

The Prize Hare Claire, with orange hair, goes to the town fair with her grandma. She loves to play fair games. She tosses a ring and wins a hare.

The hare has a pair of soft ears. Claire plays with it and feels something in its foot. She opens the seam and carefully takes out something ... It's a square gem!

"Look what I've found in the hare, Grandma!" "Oh, it looks like the gem I saw in the newspaper," says Grandma. Grandma gets the newspaper. They compare the two gems. "Oh, dear! It's the same as the rare gem the museum lost," says Grandma.

"You know what we must do, my dear," says Grandma. "But I won it fair and square," says Claire. "You won the hare, not the gem. It's unfair for the gem's owner," says Grandma.

At last, Claire goes to the museum with Grandma. The museum says it is not the rare gem they lost. It's just a piece of glass.

"Now you can keep your 'rare gem', my dear," says Grandma, "as a prize for your honesty." Claire puts away the "gem" with great care. She is joyful, as if she has just become a millionaire!
