A farmer carelessly lost an expensive gold watch in the barn on the farm, where he searched for everywhere but failed. So he put a notice on the gate of the farm: whoever finds the gold watch will be rewarded ＄100.
People tried their best to look for the watch in order to get the reward. However, the barn was too large and the straw in the barn was too thick. It was getting dark and they were still unable to find it. So they gave up the reward of ＄100 one by one.
But only a small boy was still not discouraged but kept looking for it .He had nothing to eat throughout the day. In order to solve the family problem, he looked forward to finding the gold watch and let his parents, brothers and sisters have a full meal.
The night was already getting late, the boy was also tired. He was lying in the straw to have a rest when he heard a strange “tick-tock”. He immediately held his breath and listened carefully, and followed the sound. He found the watch and got the reward.
Like the gold watch in the barn, success has been around us and spread in every corner of life. If we are calm and firmly look for it, we will find it.

“Who did this？” asked Miss Green.
There were 30 children in the classroom and all were trying to think about not only what they did, but also what our teacher already knew.
“Who broke this window?”
“Uh, Oh.” I thought. I was the one who broke the window with a football. I did not mean to do it. I would be in a lot of trouble. How could I pay for a big window like that? I didn't want to put up my hand. But I had to tell the truth. So, I put up my hand and told the teacher I broke the window.
Miss Green went to the bookshelf and took down a book.
“I know how you like birds, Peter.” She said. “Here is a book about birds and the book is yours now. I will not punish you this time. But Peter, you should remember that I am rewarding （奖赏）you for your honesty（诚实）, not for breaking the window.”
I couldn't believe it! The teacher didn't punish me and I was getting my very favorite book. Now, I still use that book, and it always reminds me of (使我想起)the lesson my teacher taught me.
