esson 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.
