Once there was a farmer who found out that he had lost his watch in the farmhouse. That watch was so precious for him, as it was a gift from his mother. After searching high and low among the straw beds and the haystack, the farmer felt very tired and exhausted. He gave up trying to search any more. He suddenly noticed that there were some boys playing around, and he called them up and told them that if anyone could find his watch, he would be rewarded. The children cheered up hearing this and started to look for his watch around that place. The time was running on, but no one could find it out. They didn't want to waste their time, said sorry, and flew away. The farmer was so unhappy and felt sad. Just when he was about to give up looking for his precious watch, a little boy came forward to help him. The farmer looked at him and said, "Hi, little boy! The boys who were older to you were trying for it — but they could not find it out. Anyways, I appreciate you, as you wanted to give a try. Try your best!" As all the boys had left already, there was no noise any more and the place was very quiet and calm. The little boy started to search for the watch here and there, and then he just went somewhere — as the farmer could not see him for a while. ** The time was going on and the little boy didn't turn out. The farmer sighed, and about to return back home — after a short while he could see the little boy coming towards him. Oh! What he carried in his hand? Yes — it was the farmer's watch! The farmer was so happy and screamed in joy! "Oh my God! You could find it. I am so fortunate to have it. My little boy, thanks a lot, dear! I will reward you; but I am very curious to know as to how you could find it when others were not able to succeed." The boy smiled and replied, "Yes, Uncle, I could find it out. Actually I didn't do anything — and sat quietly on the ground; I could hear the tickling sound of your watch, and that made me to look for your watch in that direction. Finally I could trace it out from the bushes." The farmer was so happy when he heard it, and rewarded him with a gift. ** What does the story say? If your mind is focused and peaceful, you can achieve anything. If we allow our mind to have peace, or focus on any particular thing for sometime, you can set your life — or you will have clarification on your achieving the goal! Because a peaceful mind works faster than the confused mind. — Banooravi
