Carl rummaged through the pile, looking for something that might prove useful to him in the future. What was the good of a jewel if you couldn't use it? It'd only add on unnecessary weight in one's bag, and that was the last thing he needed, as he was already fairly exhausted, despite the party.
At last he found a little knife. It was still quite sharp, and on its handle there were handsome jewels and intricate carvings.
I can use this for whittling, he decided, and admired its beauty in the sunlight.
