The Story About Jack

林鋒

Jack is a twenty?year?old young man. Two years ago， when he finished middle school， he found work in a shop. Usually he works until ten oclock in the evening. He is very tired when he gets home. After a quick supper he goes to bed and soon falls asleep. His grandma who lives downstairs is satisfied with （滿意） him.

One day， on his way home， he met Mary. They were both happy. He asked the girl to his house， she agreed happily. He bought some fruits and drinks for her. And they talked about their school， teachers， classmates and their future （未來）. They talked for a long time.

“Have a look at your watch， please，” said the girl. “What time is it now？”

“Sorry， something is wrong with my watch，” said Jack. “Wheres yours？”

“I left it at home.”

Jack thought for a moment and found a way. He began to stamp his foot on the floor， “Bang！ Bang！ Bang！”

The sound woke his grandma up. The old woman shouted downstairs， “Its twelve oclock in the night， Jack. Why are you still jumping upstairs？”
