There are clocks here and there in his house. You can see lots of clocks on the shelves. As there is not enough room for so many clocks, the man has to put clocks into some boxes under the beds in his house .

She complains (抱怨) every day because she has to do much work, for it is not easy to clean hundreds of clocks. She also complains about the noise. Each clock keeps a different time.
