The Alarm Clock That Moved

Last month, my roommate Leo bought a strange alarm clock.

Instead of ringing, it rolls off the table and runs around the room.

To turn it off, you have to get out of bed and catch it.

At first, Leo thought it was a funny idea.

On the first morning, he jumped up, hit his foot on a chair, and chased the clock for two minutes.

After that, he was wide awake, so he made breakfast and arrived at work early.

However, the clock also woke me up every day, which made me quite angry.

We talked about the problem and found a simple solution.

Now Leo puts the clock under his pillow, so only he can hear it.

He still has to stand up to stop it, but the noise stays on his side of the room.

Thanks to this small change, we both sleep better, and Leo is never late for work.
