　　Mr King had a bookshop in a town. He liked skating but there was no stadium(體育場) there. On Sundays he often went skating on a large lake which was near a village.

　　One winter Sunday it was very cold. Mr King was happy and got up early that morning. After a quick breakfast he started at a quarter to eight. He drove his car but the roads were covered with thick snow and it took him an hour to get to the small station which was only seven kilometers away from the town. The snow on the road turned thicker and thicker and it was difficult for him to go on driving. He had to park his car at the station and took a slow train. There was much snow on the railway too, and the train went very slowly. It stopped at every station. About two hours later it didn't reach the village. Soon it stopped at another small station again. He had a look at his watch and found it was half to twelve. It seemed that he had little time left to skate when he got to the lake. He couldn't bear(忍受) it any longer and jumped off the train. “How slow the train is!” Mr King said to the conductor. “Can't you go a little faster?”“Yes, we can, sir,” answered the conductor. “But we can't leave the train!”
