Many people like collecting (收集) things. For example, they like collecting stamps, books, pictures... But my friend Mr. King likes collecting clocks. He has five hundred clocks now.
There are clocks everywhere in his house. You can see shelves standing in every room. All the shelves are full of clocks. Though Mr. King is glad to do this, his wife doesn’t enjoy it at all. She has a lot of work to do every day. It’s not easy for her to clean hundreds of clocks. She is also angry at the noise. Each clock keeps its own (自己的) time, so she can hear clock strike (敲) almost any time during the day and night. “There’s something even worse. I’m never able to know what time it is with so many clocks around!”
