問題詳情：
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 11 at the fountain near the bridge, and the kids waded（蹚水）around in the fountain until we 12 . This is one of the Busiest walking streets.
After we returned to the hotel late in the afternoon, my 7-year-old son Ponder 13 that nowhere could he find his backpack, which 14 his Gameboy and his watch. After a thorough 15 we determined that he must have left it at the fountain.
Ponder has never 16 anything. So we just take for granted that he needs no supervision（指導）for managing his 17 .
He was upset, not about the Gameboy, but about the watch. "But Dad," he said, through massive 18 , "they don't make that kind of watch anymore." We were all very 19 .

As we exited from the parking garage, we could see the fountain as we walked down the long staircase. I saw something black 22 there, but it was right next to a woman standing by the fountain, so I could not 23 what it was or if it was hers.
"See it, Dad?" Ponder shouted. "Don't get too 24 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 25 there.

I literally 27 when we reached it and it was his！Everyone in our party was blown away by this "miracle（奇蹟）". In my wildest 28 , I would never have imagined that this could happen nowadays.
