My faith in human nature has never been so great as it was last weekend after our family get-together in the town of Vail.
On Saturday, we all went to the market right in the middle of the town. Near the end, we all 1 at the fountain near the bridge, and the kids waded （ 蹚水 ） around in the fountain until we 2 . This is one of the busiest walking streets.
After we returned to the hotel late in the afternoon, my 7-year-old son Ponder 3 that nowhere could he find his backpack, which 4 his Gameboy and his watch. After a thorough 5 we determined that he must have left it at the fountain.
Ponder has never 6 anything. So we just take for granted that he needs no supervision （ 指导 ） for managing his 7 .
He was upset, not about the Gameboy, but about the watch. “But Dad,” he said, through massive 8 , “they don’t make that kind of watch anymore.” We were all very 9 .
Our dinner reservation was at a restaurant just on the other side of the bridge, so I 10 him that we would not only search the area around the fountain when we went back for dinner, but we would also find the police and ask them if the backpack had been 11 .
As we exited from the parking garage, we could see the fountain as we walked down the long staircase. I saw something black 12 there, but it was right next to a woman standing by the fountain, so I could not 13 what it was or if it was hers.
“See it, Dad?” Ponder shouted. “Don’t get too 14 because that may not be it,” I said. But that was it. It had been five or six hours since we left the fountain, and it was 15 there. There was no ID in it, and it looked like someone had looked through it and then set it right out where all could 16 it.
I literally 17 when we reached it and it was his！Everyone in our party was blown away by this “ miracle （ 奇迹 ）”. In my wildest 18 , I would never have imagined that this could happen nowadays.
What a charmed life, eh? I believe this was a perfect 19 for a child in losing something important...to lose it and feel the full 20 of that loss, and then to miraculously get it back.
