A
Tom arrived at the bus station quite early for a bus to Paris. It would not leave until five to twelve. He saw a lot of people waiting at the station. Some were standing in line,  others were walking around.
There was a group of schoolgirls. Their teacher was trying to keep them in line. Tom looked around but there was no place for him to sit.
He walked into a station caff(小餐馆). He looked up at the clock there. It was only twenty to twelve. He found a seat and sat down before a large mirror on the wall. Just then, Mike, one of Toms friends, came in and sat with Tom.
What time is your bus?” asked Mike.
There is still 15 minutes left,” answered Tom.
Well, we have enough time to have a cup of tea,” said Mike.
They talked while drinking. Then Tom looked at the clock again. Oh! Its going backward (向后)! he cried. A few minutes ago it was twenty to twelve and now its half past eleven.
