One day, a farmer realised that he had lost his watch in the barn. It was of sentimental value to him, so he looked high and low for it. After a long, futile search, he enlisted the help of a group of kids playing outside the barn. he promised them that the person who found it would receive a RM20 reward.
The kids rushed inside and poked around the stacks of hay. Still, no one could find the watch.
Just as the farmer was about to give up and call off the search, a little boy asked for another chance to search again. The farmer looked at him and thought, "Why not? After all, this kid looks sincere enough." So the boy hurried back into the barn.
After a few minutes, he came out holding the watch in his hand! The farmer was both happy and surprised, so he asked how the kid how he managed to find the watch when everyone else had failed.
"I did nothing but sit on the ground and listen. When I heard the ticking of the watch, I just followed the sound."
