  1. It was the quietest hour of the morning. There was no soul to be seen as the morning was very very warm and for that reason the world looked very lazy. Not a sound was to be heard except the crowing of a cock in the distance and the hooting of an owl. Frank thought it terrifying and he longed to live in the city where he would hear the chattering of crowds and the shunting of trains.
