Now That's A Prize!
Having dated for five years, Sue knew that it was only a matter of time before Larry popped the question. This particular Saturday afternoon found them enjoying a beautiful fall afternoon at the city zoo. Excusing himself, Larry went over and bought a couple of sodas, a bag of popcorn for himself, and for Sue, her favorite, Cracker Jacks.
Just like a kid, she couldn't wait to find the prize hidden in the box. After every handful, she would reach deeper into the box, feeling around for that ever-famous little plastic toy. All of the sudden, a smile lit up her face...she'd found it. Shaking the box back and forth while wiggling her fingers inside she pulled the prize from the box, anxious to see what it was.
A look of astonishment came over her face. This wasn't a toy...no, this was a beautiful diamond ring. Larry pulled her to him, and as he asked her to be his bride, he carefully slid that diamond ring onto her finger.
