John lived with his mother in a rather big house, and when she died, the house became too big for him so he bought a smaller house in the next street.There was a very nice and very big old clock in his first house, and when the men came to take his furniture to the new house,John thought, ‘ I’m not going to let them carry my beautiful old clock in their truck.Perhaps they’ll break it, and then fixing it will be very expensive.’So he picked it up and began to carry it down the road in his arms. It was very big and heavy, so he stopped two or three times to have a rest.
Then suddenly a small boy came along the road.He stopped and looked at John for a few seconds.Then he said to John., ‘You’re a very silly man, aren’t you?Why don’t you buy a watch like everybody else?’
