20篇短文搞定3500个单词系列-6. A Brave Maid

A wooden vase from the Ming Dynasty at the entrance of the reception hall amazed everyone. The artists designed it in a rare style, and selected valuable jewels decorate it. People thought highly of its fancy color of honey and the beautiful painting on it.

The vase used to belong to a former castle. But when the country was at war, the enemy troops exploded the castle. Debates on how the vase survived went on and on. In order to removed people’s doubt, a team of no less than 20 people carried out a informal investigation. The evidences they found showed that a maid took the vase apart and asked a sailor to sink it in a local well. She never gave away the secret even under the cruel trail of the enemies who were in search of the treasures.

It is worth giving this brave maid a fortune in return.
