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 one in the next street .There was a very nice 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 mending it will be very expensive . ‘’ So he picked it up and began to carry it down the road in his arms.
It was 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 stupid man , aren’t you ? Why don’t you buy a watch like every body else?
