When Joe’s children grew up and moved to different cities, he lived in a small village. He had 4 grandchildren and they often visited him during their holidays.
It was the vacation time and Joe was waiting for them to arrive. He was preparing their favorite food and cleaning the house. However, he lost his watch when he was busy. His dead wife gave it to him when their first child was born. Joe treasured the watch very much, especially after his wife’s death.
The next day, he was very sad, “Dear children, I lost the most important watch I have ever had. Your grandma gave it to me. I feel like my heart is broken.”
The children looked for it everywhere in the house for more than 2 hours, but they didn’t find it. So Joe asked the children to stop looking for it.
One of his grandsons sat there quietly. The other children reached him and asked him what was going on. He asked them not to make any noise. He sat there for about 15 minutes and then found the watch. He ran to his grandfather with the watch. Joe was surprised and asked how he was able to find it. The little boy replied, “I sat there without making a noise. After a few minutes, I heard the sound of the watch.” Joe hugged and thanked the little boy.
