Risking Misfortune
It’s incredible to think that all those years ago, this lady randomly chose what seemed to be a cheap ring from a store display and put it on her finger. What are the odds that someone would keep on wearing an inexpensive ring they bought over 30 years ago? What this woman bought probably wouldn’t have changed her life, but who knows.
Thinking about it, she was really lucky that she didn’t lose this hidden treasure at any time. Wyndham attributes this success to a stroke of “serendipity.” However, it’s also possible that another factor was at play. The woman’s finest option was to visit the car boot sale on an average day and make the buy.
