On Saturday night, 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.
