[00:14.75]Lesson 38
[00:17.84]Everything except the weather
[00:22.21]My old friend, Harrison,
[00:24.79]had lived in the Mediterranean for many years before he returned to England.
[00:31.58]He had often dreamed of retiring in England
[00:36.23]and had planned to settle down in the country.
[00:40.33]He had no sooner returned than he bought a house and went to live there.
[00:47.71]Almost immediately he began to complain about the weather,
[00:53.15]for even though it was still summer,it rained continually
[00:58.27]and it was often bitterly cold.
[01:02.27]After so many years of sunshine,Harrison got a shock.
[01:08.12]He acted as if he had never lived in England before.
[01:13.12]In the end,it was more than he could bear.
[01:17.43]He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country.
[01:24.49]The dream he had had for so many years ended there.
[01:30.12]Harrison had thought of everything except the weather.</p>






Why did Harrison sell his house so quickly?
