After searching in the hay for a long time, he gave up and enlisted the help of a group of children who were playing outside the barn. He promised them that the person who found the watch , it would be rewarded. As soon as they heard this, they ran inside the barn immediately and searched the entire stack of hay, but they couldn't find it. When the  farmer was about to give up looking for his watch, a little boy asked him for giving another chance to find the watch in the barn and the farmer look at him and thought why not?
A few minutes later, surprisingly, the little boy came out with the watch in his hand. The farmer was extremly happy and asked the kid how he successed where the rest had failed. He replied: I did nothing ,I just sat on the ground and listened carefully. In the silence I heard the ticking of the watch and just looked for it in that direction.
