Passage

Seven-year-old Jim came home from the park without his new bicycle. “An old man and a little boy borrowed it,” he explained. “They are going to bring it back at four o'clock.” His parents were upset that he had given his expensive new bicycle, but were secretly proud of his kindness and faith. At four o'clock, no bicycle arrived. The parents grew anxious. But at 4:30, the doorbell rang, and there stood a happy man and a boy, with the bicycle and a box of chocolates. Jim suddenly disappeared into his bedroom and then came running out. “All right,” he said, after examining the bicycle. “You can have your watch back!”
