My grandfather used to have a beautiful gold pocket watch. He wore it every day. When I was small he promised (答应) to leave it to me, "When I'm gone," he said. "This is going to be yours."
Unluckily that will never happen now. About three months ago,my grandfather came to London to stay with us. The first Sunday morning after he arrived,my youngest son said he wanted to go to the park.
"We'll do better than that," said my grandfather. "We'll go and feed the pigeons (鹤子) in Trafalgar Square."So they set off. They got home about supper time and my grandfather looked very unhappy.
"My watch," he said, "it's gone. Someone must have stolen it while we were feeding the pigeons."
"Did you tell the police?"I asked.
"No”，he said, "I didn't think that would do any good." "You should report it," I said. "Perhaps you just lost it."
"No," he replied,shaking his head. " Someone must have taken it. But I know what I am going to do."
My grandfather put an advertisement in The Evening Paper. Later on,in the afternoon,a small,nervous man,wearing a cloth cap,came up to my grandfather. " Excuse me,sir , ”he said, "are you the man who wanted your pocket watch back?"
My grandfather nodded. "Well,you must understand,sir,that I didn't do it,but the man who did it asked me to give it back."From his dirty coat,he took out the watch. My grandfather was pleased. He paid the man 100 pounds as promised and then shook hands with the man.
On the bus he wanted to have another look at his watch. With a smile on his face,he put his hand in his coat. The smile froze. The watch was no longer there.
