Once upon a time, there...
Once upon a time, there was a young lad who had inherited a gold watch. The watch was a work of art, being of a large variety of pocket watch, with an engraved lid and a long chain to wear upon a vest. The watch had been a retirement gift to the boy's great-grandfather, who had passed the watch to his son when he had died. In turn, the boy's grandfather had passed the watch to his son, but had not waited until his own death to do so. Instead, he made it a gift upon the birth of his first grandson, because he wanted to have the pleasure of seeing his son use it.
