When fish was put on the table, one of them, a young man said, Let's examine the fish carefully, perhaps we'll find a diamond in it. Everybody began to laugh, but an old man said quietly, Yes, I'm sure, we have all heard a story like that. Let me tell you what happened to me once. When I was a young man, he began, I worked for a big company in New York. And I was sent to England to do some work there. I was in love with a beautiful girl, and before I left for England, we decided that we would get married when I returned home. I stayed in England for two months. I sent letters and postcards to the girl almost every day. But after the first two weeks, I didn't receive any answers. But I didn't think anything was the matter. And before I left for home, I bought a beautiful diamond ring for her. On the ship one morning, a telegram was brought to me. It was from a friend in New York. Who told me that the girl had changed her mind and was going to get married to another man. I was so angry that I threw the diamond ring into the sea. My friend came to a port to meet me and he invited me to dinner. While we were sitting down at the table, and I was eating fish, I suddenly felt something hard in my mouth. What do you think it was? A diamond, all the Americans cried. No, the old man answered, it was a fish bone. The end.
