When I was in primary school, my English teacher Miss Green told us a story. Through the story, she wanted to tell us that there is always a solution to every problem, 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.

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 watch ticked(发出滴答声).
