5.Joe,75,lived very happily and had a beautiful family.He had four grandchildren,and they all visited him in their holidays.
But while he was working,he lost his favorite watch.Before they came to visit,Joe was getting ready for his home for the kids:cleaning the house,buying their favorite foods and cooking delicious food…
The watch was a gift from his deceased(已故的)wife when their first child was born.Joe loved the watch very much.He was very unhappy.
When his grandchildren came,they promised him they would find the watch.
One granddaughter asked:"Grandpa,do you remember when you lost your watch?
Joe answered:"I guess when l cleaned the barn!"
The children looked for more than two hours but could not find it.
One grandson went to search(搜尋) the barn again,and Joe asked why he was going there.The little boy asked the others not to follow him and to keep silent(安靜的).
He was there for about 15minutes and then ran to his grandfather.He found the watch!
Joe was surprised and asked how he was able to find it.The little boy said:"I sat there without making a noise,and the barn was so silent.After a few minutes,I heard the‘tick,tick'sound and found the watch."
Joe hugged him and thanked the little boy.
This shows the power(力量)of silence.If we stay calm(冷靜的),we are better able to find a solution(解決方法)!
