Tom was a good boy. He was seven years old, and he was going to school soon.

    But Tom had a shortcoming（缺点）. He couldn't get up early. He often slept until nine or ten o' clock in the morning.

    His mother didn't want him to be late for school. So she bought him an alarm clock. She said to him, "You must get up when you hear the clock ring."

    "Yes, Mum. "Tom said, and from then on, Tom got up when he heard the clock ring at six in the morning．

    One day, his mother forgot to wind up the clock. And the next morning Tom didn't get up at six thirty. It was time for breakfast. Mother went to wake him up. Tom was in bed and his eyes were open. He said to his mother," I woke up very early."

    "Then why didn't you get up?" Mother asked. "You told me to get up when I heard the dock ring. So I am now waiting for the clock ring."
