Kevin was pretty bored. His mother was at work, and his father had been away on business. Therefore, he was left in the care of Mrs. Hill, an old lady who lived next door. His parents had raised the 12-year-old to be a good boy. He never got into trouble, though sometimes he wanted to do risky things. Mrs. Hill was asleep. Kevin sighed (叹息) and hoped something exciting would happen. Suddenly, a movement outside caught his eye.
Mrs. Hill’s front window faced Mr. and Mrs. Green’s house across the street. The couple had both gone to work, so it was strange that someone was over there. Kevin stared at the man at their front door. Suddenly, the man jumped through an open window into the house. With his heart in his mouth, Kevin grabbed Mrs. Hill’s home phone and called the police.
Thinking that the man might get away with whatever he wanted before the police arrived, Kevin decided to do something. He rushed out of Mrs. Hill’s house and crossed the street quickly. Grabbing a branch from a cut-down tree, he jumped in through the window. “Stop right there! You must leave right now!” he called out, holding the branch with both hands.
The man froze for a second, but when he saw the skinny boy he breathed a sigh of relief. “Hey, kid, put that down. It was my home. My parents used to live here and my father’s watch was here,” he explained, trying to lift a floorboard.
At that moment, the sounds of a police car echoed (回响) in the air. The man stood up in a panic, then ran through the house toward the window and jumped out. Kevin followed out and told the arriving police officers what had happened. They pursued and arrested the man.
Kevin went back to Mrs. Hill’s house. Somehow he wasn’t sure he had done the right thing. “What if he has told the truth?” he thought to himself. The man’s words sounded pretty convincing.

When Mr. and Mrs. Green got home, Kevin went to talk to them. The moral conundrum chewed away at Kevin’s heart, pulling on his heartstring left and right as he vividly reiterated the encounter with this stranger. Giving the man’s sincerity a benefit of the doubt, the family took pry open the floorboard to confirm whether the man was telling the truth. “I was hoping to renovate this old floor anyway. Now, we can rest well knowing whether the man is innocent and a new look for our living room.” Then, from the exact piece of wooden board that the stranger tried to excavate, out came a vintage pocket watch.
Kevin and Mr. Green took the watch they had found to the police station. Initially, the police mentioned that whether the man had the right to receive the pocket watch, he still needs to be convicted for breaking and entering because the property was no longer under the possession of his father. Nevertheless, Kevin’s parents decided that they would not press any charges on this poor honest man and return to him what was rightfully his. Sometimes, honesty is the best policy.

Kevin and Mr. Green took the watch they had found to the police station. When they arrived, an officer was recording a statement with the old man, who looked tired and deflated. Mr. Green presented the watch. “We think there has been a misunderstanding.” At the sight of the watch, the old man’s face lit up with a huge grin “This is exactly what I was looking for! I can even tell you the engraving on the back of the watch.” Turns out, the old man was telling the truth. He had sneaked back to his childhood home to look for the only memento left by his late father. He thanked Kevin and the Greens and apologized for trespassing, “I should have just knocked on the door!”

When Mr. and Mrs. Green got home, Kevin went to talk to them. Mr. and Mrs. Green were also in genuine shock. After checking the house and found nothing was lost, they saw the watch underneath the floorboard that the man was talking about. “This cannot be a simple break in”, said Mr. Green, “There must be a history with this house that we did not know about before we bought the house, perhaps the previous owner did not mention it to us.” Kevin picked up the watch and stared at it, trying to figure out what was special about it. “Maybe we should go to the police station and ask the man himself.” said Kevin.
Kevin and Mr. Green took the watch they had found to the police station. When the man saw the watch, he suddenly began to cry: “I just wanted that watch, nothing else. It was the only thing that my father left me when he passed away. But I was afraid to ask you directly, so I thought maybe I can break in when you are not home and just take the watch and leave.” As he went on to tell his story, it brought tears to Mr. Green and Kevin as well. In the end, Mr. Green decided to forgive the man and gave the watch to him.
