My Watch
If you have a watch, don’t repair it! I know it for certain. Once I had a beautiful watch ,and this 48 kept perfect(準(zhǔn)確的) time. But one night it so happened that I forgot to wing it up(上發(fā)條). Next 49 I went to a 50 as I wanted my watch to be set the exact time. The watchmaker examined my watch and said, “The regulator(調(diào)節(jié)器)is to be pushed up(撥一撥)as your watch is 4 minutes 51 ”. I tried to stop him, tried to make him understand that my watch kept the perfect tine, but he didn’t listen to me and push the regulator
My beautiful watch began to gain. It gained faster and faster day by day. By the end of the second mouth it had left all the 52 and watches of the town far behind.
What did I have to do? To take it to another watchmaker to be regulated. I expected him to regulate the watch immediately, 53 he told me to come in a week. When at last I took my watch from him, it began to slow down. And I began to be late for trains, business appointments and even missed my dinners.
Now I went to the third watchmaker. While I waited for him to repair my poor watch, he took it to pieces and said that he could mend it in 3 days. I had 54 to do but agree. That time my watch went for half a day and then 55 (stop).
So I kept taking my watch from one watchmaker to another for a considerable period of time. And as a result of it the cleverest man in the world could not tell the time by my watch. The thing was getting serious. My watch had cost hundred dollars originally, but I paid for repairs over two thousand. At last I decided to buy another watch.
