I\'m going to take the five o\'clock train tomorrow morning.”
“ Oh, sorry, ” the owner said, “ I am afraid I can\'t.I don\'t get up that early.”
The young man started to go back to his room when he stopped and asked, “ Do you have an alarm clock? That would help me.” “ Yes, here it is, young man.”
The young man took the clock happily and thanked the old man.But when he looked at it carefully, there appeared to be something wrong with it.“ Does it ring on time? ” he asked the old man.
“ Sure! Just shake it when it\'s time to get up, and it\'ll ring.” 一只闹钟

上床睡之前，他对旅馆老板——一个老头儿说：“对不起，先生，请问您能在五点差一刻叫醒我吗？我明天早晨要乘五点的火车。”
“哦，很抱歉”，旅馆老板说，“恐怕不行，我不可能起那么早。”
年轻人正想回到房间去，又停住了问：“那你有闹钟吗？或许它能帮助我。” “我有，给你，年轻人。”
年轻人很高兴地拿了闹钟，谢了老头儿。但当他仔细查看了闹钟后，发现似乎有毛病。 “它能准时闹吗？”他问老头儿。
“那当然！时间一到，你摇一摇，他就会响的。”
