On Saturday night, we went to the Town Hall. It was the last day of the year and alarge 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

Year. At the moment, everybody began to laugh and sing
