I didn't like to carry all my keys in my pocket during a long walk so I took off the car key and left the rest in the car. We came back, and I put the key somewhere in the car without tying it to the key ring. We made a fire and went to sleep in the back of the SUV. The next morning, we were cleaning up our campsite when I saw a magpie (喜鹊) inside my car. It was the only time I had ever seen a bird of any kind inside the car. I walked over, and it flew away. When we got in the car to go home, I couldn't find the key. We searched and searched, even emptying out the car completely, but it was gone. Then it hit me. The magpie must have taken it. After all, they were known for stealing shiny things to make their nests nice­looking. Keys were shiny. The magpie was the stealer! It made perfect sense to me. So, I set out in search of its nest. The next problem：As everyone knows, the Grand Canyon is quite large. So I didn't like my chances of actually finding a certain nest belonging to a certain magpie in a certain tree in all that space. But what other choice did I have? My wife was not encouraging. She said, "Are you crazy? You'll never find it! The Grand Canyon is the biggest hole on Earth!" I didn't say a word and marched purposefully onward. I tried hard with hope as I searched dozens of trees and tracked every singing bird. Two hours later, I finally gave up and returned to the car only to find my wife relaxing in a chair, drinking a hot cocoa and wondering why she married me. The next challenge was making out how to get a new key made. Paragraph 1： Luckily, another family came through the campsite. Paragraph 2： I didn't know who put it there－maybe I or maybe my wife 答案：Paragraph 1： Luckily, another family came through the campsite. They said they were going to town. I asked them to send out a repair man to help us. They promised they would. Five hours later, the repair man showed up. Because of the time he spent on the way, he charged me nineteen times as much as the normal amount for making a new key. The next day, we went back home and stopped at A&W for lunch. I pulled out the cup holder in my car, and the key was sitting right there. It was the only place that I didn't search. Paragraph 2： I didn't know who put it there－may be I or maybe my wife. A speechless feeling almost made me crazy. I got out of the car, looked up at the sky, fell to my knees, and raised my hands shouting. "Whyyyyy???" At the same time, my wife seemed to get much happiness from this memory, mainly from enjoying my embarrassment. In the later years, she told and retold this story to many friends. It clearly became a certain kind of pet phrase. When we couldn't find something or neither of us knew who lost it, she simply said "Go and find the magpie."
