  When Jimmy was a boy, he always liked watches and clocks very much. When he was eighteen years old, he went into the army, and after a year, he began to teach himself to mend watches. A lot of his friends brought their broken watches to mend.

  Then his captain heard about this, and one day he brought him an old watch and said, “My watch has stopped. Can you mend it for me, please?”

  Jimmy said, “Yes, sir, I can.” After a few days, he took the watch back to the captain.

  “How much do I pay you?” the captain asked.

  “One pound, sir.” Jimmy answered. Then he took a small box out of his pocket and gave it to the captain, saying, “Here are the three wheels (轮子) from your watch, I didn't find a place for them when I put everything back.”
