L34-2：A happydiscovery

My old friend,Frank haliday, is just such a person. He has often described to me how hepicked up a masterpiece for a mere 50 pounds. One Saturday morning, Frankvisited an antique shop in my neighbourhood. As he had never been there before,he found a great deal to interest him. The morning  passed rapidly and Frank was about to leavewhen he noticed a large packing case lying on the floor. The dealer told himthat it had just come in, but that he could not be bothered to open it. Frank begged him to do so and the dealerreluctantly prised it open. The contents were disappointing. Apart from aninteresting-looking carved dagger, the box was full of crockery, much of itbroken. Frank gently lifted the crockery out of the box and suddenly noticed aminiature painting at the bottom of the packing case. As its composition andline reminded him of an Italian painting he knew well, he decided to buy it. Glancing at it briefly, the dealer toldhim that it was worth £50. Frank could hardly conceal his excitement, for heknew that he had made a real discovery. The tiny painting proved to be anunknown masterpiece by Correggio and was worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.
