   The clock struck (敲) eight,but I was still on the bed. I could hear it was blowing strongly. uIt must be windy outside”’ I thought.

   I came to the small town a week ago. I sold some clothes to a shop. Christmas was coming and I hoped to buy some presents for my family and friends. So I tried to meet the manager and ask him to pay for the clothes. I was out of luck. He went to London and I had to wait for him here. There was no theater here but a cinema. The films were all too old. I preferred staying in the small hotel to sitting in the cold cinema.

   Half an hour later,I felt hungry. I had to get up. It was white everywhere and some children were skiing down the hill. On my way to the small restaurant,I saw a boy fall onto a rock. I ran to him quickly and carried him to a hospital. Soon his parents came here. Now I knew the boy was just the manager's son. He thanked me very much and gave me the money after we had a dinner.
