When I was in primary school, Miss Green told us a story in an English class. Through the story, she wanted to tell us that there is always a solution(解决方法) to every problem. I kept that in mind.
One day, when I returned home, I found that my father was unhappy. When I asked him why, He told me that he lost his watch when he was working in the garden. He had looked for it everywhere but couldn't find it. He had also asked my two elder brothers to help, but they failed too.
That watch was very important to my father because it was a gift from my late(已故的) grandfather. “Don't worry, Dad. I'll help you find it,” I said. But my father didn't believe it .After all, they all had failed to find it. He said, “Well, if you find it, I'll give you 20 dollars.” “OK, Just wait,” I said and then went to the garden.
Suddenly, I thought of the story that Miss Green had told us. But how could I find the watch? I started thinking and thinking, Then I remembered that the watch ticked(发出滴答声). But the ticking was hard to hear. I decided not to look here and there as they did. Instead, I put my ear on the ground. And ten minutes later, I found the watch.
My father and brothers couldn't believe their eyes. They thought I was really lucky. But I shook my head, saying, "No, It wasn't good luck. I just thought before I took action(行动)."
There is always a solution to every problem. Just think before you take action.
