On Saturday night, we went to the Town Hall.

It was the last day of the year and a large crowd of people
had gathered under the Town Hall clock. It would strike twelve in twenty minutes time. Fifteen minutes
passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. The big minute hand did not move. We waited and
waited, but nothing happened. Suddenly someone shouted,Its two minutes past twelve! The clock has
stopped!

Two Brothers

Long ago, there were two brothers called Akomi and Ombah. They were ambitious and winning. Akomi,
the elder brother, said, "If we become the King's employees, we can make laws to collect more money
from the people. We will become very rich."

They went to see King Aruya. Akomi said, "Your Majesty, let us be your ministers. We will make good
laws. All your subjects will be happy. I am wise and clever. I know everything."

King Aruya said angrily, "That is not true! Nobody knows everything. For example, do you know how
many stars there are in the sky? Guards! Throw this liar into the river of crocodiles!"

Ombah's hands trembled. Then he thought to himself, "King Aruya will also punish me if I say the wrong
thing. My brother said he knew everything and his answer was wrong. So if I say the opposite, my answer
will be right." Ombah then said, to King Aruya, "Your majesty, I know nothing."
