A few days ago, Simon graduated from college. He wanted to find a job in a big city. So he came to London. He went from one company to another, but none wanted him. At last, he only had the money for the train ticket. So he had to go back to his hometown. He arrived at the train station, feeling sad and tired. It was late at night.
