It was no ordinary watch

There once was a farmer who discovered that he had lost his watch in the barn.

It was no ordinary watch because it had sentimental value for him.

After searching for a while he gave up and enlisted the help of children playing outside the barn.

After they searched for a while, just when the farmer was about to give up, a little boy went up to him and asked for another chance.

The farmer looked at him and thought, why not?

After all your friends look sincere enough so the farmer sent the boy back in the barn.

After a moment, the boy came out with a watch on his hand.

The farmer was both happy and surprised so he asked the boy how he succeeded.

The boy replied, “I did nothing but sit on the ground and listen in silence,

I heard the ticking of the watch and just looked for it in that direction”
