John is six years old. He can read and write well. But he can`t tell the time. His mother, Mrs Brown teaches him many times, but he still can`t tell. He would say “brerakfast time”, “lunchtime” and “teatime” instead of (代替) saying eight o`clock, twelve o`clock and four o`clock in the afternoon. His mother doesn`t know how to help him.

One day John`s aunt, Mary comes to see his mother. His mother tell her about that. His aunt says. “Let me help you. I think I can help him.”

When John comes home after school, Mary begins (开始) to teach him..

　 “Can you count,John ?” she asks him.

　　 “Yes. One ,two three,four …”John says.

　　 “That`s fine. Now I put the long hand (钟表的长指针) on twelve and the short hand on one －that is one o`clock. If I put the short hand on two, what is the time?’’

　　 “Two o`clock.”

　　 “Good. And on three?”

　　 “Three o`clock.”

　　 Then it is four o`clock in the afternoon, and John`s aunt asks him, “What time is it now ,John?”　

　　 “Teatime, Aunt, and I am very hungry (饥饿).” John looks at the clock and answers.
