      The clock rang and it woke Joe up. He turned on the light and had a look at it. It was five. He looked out of the window. It was dark outside. But he hoped to get to the next place of interest by lunchtime. He got up at once. After a quick breakfast,the young man started. There was little traffic on the road and he drove quite fast.

      The sun rose in the east and it got hotter. Now the young man was driving through a bigger town. Most people hurried to work and there were a lot of cars and buses in the street.He had to drive slowly. And after he came out of the town,he began to quicken. At that moment

something was wrong with his car and he had to stop. He got off and found one of the wheels (车轮) was shriveled (瘪的) . It took him about an hour to repair it in the sun and he felt very thirsty after that. He saw there was a small house not far from the road and went to ask for something to drink. An old woman in the house told him in and gave him a bowl of soup. A little dog went up to him and looked at him carefully.
