Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and their children were going2 to begin their vacation3 one day, and they had4 to be at the airport at eleven-forty AM. It'll take us half an hour to get there in the taxi, Mr. Wilson said5, so we all have to be ready by eleven o'clock. Nobody6 should be late.
At ten minutes to eleven they were still all running7 around doing things, except8 Mrs. Wilson, who was sitting quietly9 on a chair in the garden enjoying the sun.
Her husband10 and children were very surprised11 that she wasn't in a hurry too, until12 the taxi arrived and Mrs. Wilson said to them, Well, I knew that this was going to be happen, so before I went to bed last night, I moved all our clocks and watches ahead13 twenty minutes. So now we can go to the airport quietly without worring about being late.
