8．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The watch was my grandfather's. He hung it by his bed. The face was marked with elegant Roman numbers and the case was gold. My grandfather got it after his fifty years of faithful service with his firm. I often gazed at it longingly as I sat with my grandfather after school.
The day I told him of my success in the examinations, he was pleased, "You'll be going to the new school next, Will. Remember you'll need plenty of patience. That's the right way. " I nodded when handing him the watch. He gazed at it for some moments, and wound it.
The next morning my mother told me he had died in his sleep and left me his watch. For safety, my mother was to put it away in trust until she considered me old enough to look after it. I protested（抗议）so strongly that she finally agreed to hang it in the kitchen where I could always see it.
The summer soon ended and it was time for me to enter the new school. I never made friends easily, and for a time I did little more than get on speaking terms with some boys. One of them was a rich fellow whose way of impressing us was to parade his possessions before us. Everything Crawley had was better than ours—until he brought the watch.
"I have a better watch than that," I announced, attempting to impress them. "Well, show it to us," Crawley sneered（冷笑）in disbelief. Embarrassed, I promised to bring it to them that afternoon.
Considering there was no way to persuade my mother to let me take the watch, I decided to wait for her to step outside and slip the watch into my pocket. So I did. After lunch, as I was too excited to wait for the return bus, I got my bike out of the shed
I rode fast, excitement coursing through me. Then suddenly a puppy ran out into my path. I pulled at my brakes so hard that the bike stopped to a sharp standstill（急停）and I fell over.

【答案】One possible version:
I picked myself up and put a trembling hand into my pocket. Then I brought out what was left of my grandfather's proudest possession. There was deep bulge in the watch, the glass shattered, and the Roman numbers looking crazily at one another. Putting it back, I rode slowly on to school, numb with misery. After what seemed forever, I finally turned up before the waiting boys. "My mother wouldn't let me bring it," I lied. "His mother wouldn't let him, "Crawley jeered. "What a story!" The others took up his cries and left without a backward glance.
"That's not the right way. Patience, Will. Patience, "a voice echoed in my ears after the boys left. Though anger, embarrassment and sadness hung heavily in the air, the voice drew me to the awareness of the mistakes I had made when I attempted to impress the boys. I shouldn't have tried to integrate in such a hasty way, nor should I have stolen the watch behind my mother. It was the first time that I had truly realized the meaning of the gift---patience. I knew for sure that every time I lost patience in the future I would remember my grandfather's words.
