On Saturday night, we went to 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.
