On Saturday night, we went to the Town Hall. It was the last day of the year and a large crowd of people had gathered under the Town Hall clock. It would strike twelve in twenty minute' time. Fifteen minute passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. The big minute hand did not move. We waited and waited, but nothing happened. Suddenly someone shoted, "It's two minutes past twelve! The clock has stopped!"

I looked at my watch, it was true. The big clock refused to welcome the New Year. At that moment, everybody began to laugh and sing.

Pada Sabtu malam, kami pergi ke Balai Kota. Itu adalah hari terakhir tahun ini dan kerumunan besar orang berkumpul di bawah jam Balai Kota. Ini akan menuju jam dua belas dalam waktu dua puluh menit. Lima belas menit berlalu dan kemudian, pada pukul dua belas kurang lima, jam berhenti. Jarum menit besar tidak bergerak. Kami menunggu dan menunggu, tetapi tidak ada yang terjadi. Tiba-tiba seseorang menembak, "Sekarang jam dua belas lewat dua menit! Jam telah berhenti!"

Saya melihat jam tangan saya, itu benar. Jam besar menyambut Tahun Baru. Saat itu, semua orang mulai tertawa dan bernyanyi.
