often no time to spend with his wife and son. he was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.over the phone, his mother told him, “mr. belser died last night. the funeral is wednesday.”

jack remembered it, except for the box, he figured someone from the belser family had taken it.“now, ill never know what was so valuable to him,” jack said sadly.returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. the return address caught his attention.“mr. harold belser”, it read.jack tore open the package. there inside was the gold box and an envelope. jacks hands shook as he read the note inside.“upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to jack bennett. its the thing i valued most in my life.” a small key was taped to the letter. his heart racing, and tears filling his eyes, jack carefully unlocked the box. there inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.inside he found these words carved: “jack, thanks for your time! harold belser.”“oh, my god! the thing he valued mostwas. .my time.” jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days. “why?” janet, his assistant, asked.“i need some time to spend with my son,” he said.“oh, by the way, janetthanks for your time!”56. why did jack think mr. belser died years ago? a.
