      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 "breakfast 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 tells 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-hat 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. John looks at the clock and answers.
