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.
