The slow clock

• The slow clock
      George and Ken wanted to go to London. They bought two tickets for London at the station.The train was at platform two.It left at nineteen past eight,and it was three to eight now.A bar was near the platform,so they went to the bar and had a drink. 
      Some minutes leter,they came back to the platform,and showed their tickets to the conductor,but he said that they had just missed it! "What?"george said,"It's only eight fifteen".But the conductor said:" The clock is borken,it's ten minutes slow". 
      Gorge asked "What time is the next train"? 
      "In five hours(' time)!",the conductor said. 
      This is only the level of junior school.
