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!”
