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) them. I was out of luck (运气不好). 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 (我宁愿待在小旅馆里, 也不愿坐在冰冷的电影院里). 
     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 (岩石). 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.
