The clock struck(敲)eight，but I was still on the bed.I could hear it was blowing strongly."It 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(付款(kuan))them.I was out of luck(運氣不好).He went to London and I had to wait for him here.There was no theatre here but a cinema.The films were all too old.I preferred staying in the small hotel to sitting in the cold cinema(我寧(ning)愿待在小旅館里，也不愿坐在冰(bing)冷的電(dian)*里).

　　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 on to a rock(巖石(shi)).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.
