Joe was an old man. The 75-year-old lived very happily in a village and had a beautiful family. Joe had four grandchildren, and they visited him during their holidays. During one vacation, Joe was preparing his home for the kids: cleaning and buying their favorite foods. After he finished working, he realized he lost his favorite watch. The watch was a gift from his wife when their first child was born. Joe loved the watch very much, especially after his wife's death. He was very upset about losing it. Once his grandchildren came, they promised him they would find the watch. One granddaughter asked: "Grandpa, do you remember when you saw the watch last before it went missing?" "I guess when I was cleaning the barn !" Joe replied. The children looked for more than two hours with Joe, but they could not find it. The kids were now also sad, but they tried to comfort their grandfather. One grandson went back to the barn to search again. Joe asked why he was going there a second time. But the little boy just asked the others not to follow him and to remain silent. He was there for about fifteen minutes and then rushed to his grandfather. He found the watch and happily gave it to Joe. Joe was surprised and asked how he was able to find it. The little boy replied: "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 and thanked the little boy.

Joe var en gammal man. 75-åringen levde mycket lyckligt i en by och hade en vacker familj. Joe hade fyra barnbarn, och de besökte honom under deras semester. Under en semester förberedde Joe sitt hem för barnen: att städa och köpa deras favoritmat. Efter att han slutat arbeta insåg han att han förlorat sin favoritklocka. Klockan var en gåva från hans fru när deras första barn föddes. Joe älskade klockan väldigt mycket, särskilt efter sin frus död. Han var väldigt upprörd över att förlora den. När hans barnbarn kom lovade de honom att de skulle hitta klockan. En dotterdotter frågade: "Farfar, minns du när du såg klockan sist innan den försvann?" "Jag antar när jag städade ladan!" Joe svarade. Barnen letade i mer än två timmar med Joe, men de kunde inte hitta den. Barnen var nu också ledsna, men de försökte trösta sin farfar. En sonson gick tillbaka till ladan för att söka igen. Joe frågade varför han skulle dit en andra gång. Men den lille pojken bad just de andra att inte följa efter honom och att tiga. Han var där i ungefär femton minuter och rusade sedan till sin farfar. Han hittade klockan och gav den glatt till Joe. Joe blev förvånad och frågade hur han kunde hitta den. Den lille gossen svarade: »Jag satt där utan att föra oväsen, och ladan var så tyst. Efter några minuter hörde jag 'tick, tick'-ljudet och hittade klockan." Joe kramade och tackade den lille pojken. Svara på följande frågor: 1. Vad förlorade Joe? 2. Hur gammal är han? 3. Vem hittade den? 4. Var han gammal? 5. Var det mycket oväsen när han hittade den? 6. Hur lång tid tog det för honom att hitta den? 7. Vad hörde han? 8. Var hittade han den? 9. Hade de tittat där förut? 10. Hur länge? 11. Vem fick han klockan av? 12. Vad gjorde han när han tappade bort den? 13. Lever hans fru fortfarande? 14. Var han ledsen över att han tappade uret? 15. Vem frågade var han senast hade sett den? 16. Hur många barnbarn hade han? 17. När såg de honom? 18. Var bodde han? 19. Ville hans barnbarn hitta klockan? 20. När fick han klockan?
