When my husband was taking the plant away, he found a  43  of a blackbird. He then  44  something  45  among that mass of earth and straw of the nest. He broke the earth __46__ it into pieces with his finger tips and, to his  47  ,saw glittering gold. It was a child’s bracelet（手镯）. He ran into the house to  48  me.
