(hear) this, the children hurried inside the barn immediately . searched everywhere but still could not find the watch buried in the grain. The farmer was about to give up a little boy went up to him and asked to be given second chance.
The farmer looked at him and thought, “Why not? After all, this kid looks honest.”
So the farmer sent the little boy back into the barn. After a while the little boy came out the watch in his hand! The farmer, (surprise) but happy, asked the boy how he succeeded where the rest had failed.
The boy replied, “I did nothing but (sit) quietly and listen for the sound of the watch.”
