1 . A farmer lost an expensive gold watch in the barn(谷仓) on the farm. He looked for it everywhere but couldn’t find it. So he put a notice on the gate of the farm: Whoever finds the gold watch will get 100 dollars from me. People tried their best to look for the watch in order to get the money. However, the barn was too large and the straw(草) in the barn was too thick. It was getting dark and they were still unable to find it, so they gave up the 100 dollars one by one.

But only a small boy still kept on looking for it. He had nothing to eat the whole day. To solve the family problem, he hoped to find the gold watch and let 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-tick”. He held his breath at once, listened carefully, and followed the sound. He found the watch and got the 100 dollars.

Like the gold watch in the barn, success(成功) is around us in our lives. Only when we keep on looking for it, we can find it.
