[00:01.080]--- Lesson 38 Everything except the weather
[00:08.360]--- First listen and then answer the question.
[00:14.080]--- Why did Harrison sell his house so quickly?
[00:21.680]My old friend, Harrison, had lived in the Mediterranean for many years before he returned to England.
[00:32.440]He had often dreamed of retiring in England and had planned to settle down in the country.
[00:40.960]He had no sooner returned than he bought a house and went to live there.
[00:47.400]Almost immediately he began to complain about the weather,
[00:52.320]for even though it was still summer, it rained continually and it was often bitterly cold.
[01:01.680]After so many years of sunshine, Harrison got a shock.
[01:07.600]He acted as if he had never lived in England before.
[01:12.120]In the end, it was more than he could bear.
[01:16.600]He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country.
[01:23.240]The dream he had had for so many years ended there.
[01:28.160]Harrison had thought of everything except the weather.
