Lesson 2
Thirteen equals one
十三等于一
Our
vicar
is
always
raising
money
for
one
cause
or
another,
but
he
has
never
managed
to
get
enough
money
to
have
the
church
clock
repaired.
The
big
clock
which used to strike
the hours day and night was damaged many years ago
and has
been silent ever since.
One
night,
however,
our
vicar
work
up
with
a
start:
the
clock
was
striking
the
hours!
Looking
at
his
watch,
he
saw
that
it
was
one
o'clock,
but
the
bell
struck
thirteen times before
it stopped. Armed with a torch, the vicar went up
into the clock
tower to see what was
going on. In the torchlight, he caught sight of a
figure whom
he immediately recognized
as Bill Wilkins, our local grocer.
'Whatever are you doing up here Bill?'
asked the vicar in surprise.
'I'm trying to repair
the bell,' answered Bill. 'I've been coming up
here night after
night for weeks now.
You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise.'
'You
certainly did
give
me
a
surprise!'
said the
vicar.
'You've
probably woken
up
everyone in the village
as well. Still, I'm glad the bell is working
again.'
That's the
trouble, vicar,' answered Bill. 'It's working all
right, but I'm afraid that at
one
o'clock it will strike thirteen times and there's
nothing I can do about it.
We'll get used to that, Bill,' said the
vicar.
better than nothing. Now let's
go downstairs and have a cup of tea.'
