The snow fell as Tom waited inside his apartment. All of a sudden, the phone rang. He picked it up and listened attentively to the peculiar voice. Looking worried, he paced across the room and gripped his huge suitcase. Trembling with anxiety, he opened the door and went outside to the shivering climate.

Since there was a bad smell, I bought a gas mask.

Before it was snowing, I ate my breakfast.

As there was no one there, I played my music very loudly.

Whenever it was silent, I played my trombone.

Since there was a snake there, I took my time.
