Lesson

9 A cold welcome

On Wednesday evening, we went to the Town Hall.

It was the last day of the year and a large crowd of people had gathered under

the Town Hall clock. It would strike twelve in twenty minutes' time. Fifteen

minutes passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. The big minute

hand did not move. We waited and waited, but nothing happened. Suddenly someone

shouted, 'It's two minutes past twelve! The clock has stopped!' I looked at my

watch. It was true. The big clock refused to welcome the New Year. At that

moment everybody began to laugh and sing.
