3-2-1 Two Clocks I

"Ding-dong, Ding-dong." P

"Cuckoo, Cuckoo." P

Every time it turned twelve o'clock, both the wall clock and the cuckoo clock sounded their chimes. P

Each clock tried to be louder than the other, and each would chime as loud as it could. P

One day, the wall clock was much louder than the cuckoo clock, and the cuckoo clock could hardly be heard. P

The cuckoo clock felt disappointed and asked, P

"Wall Clock, why must you make such a loud noise?" P

The wall clock responded, "Why do you pretend to be a cuckoo bird by making its sound?" P

Then Vanessa said to both the cuckoo clock and the wall clock, P

"Thanks for letting me know what time it is." P

The cuckoo clock was confused and asked, P

"You're thankful because we let you know what time it is?" The wall clock was amused and replied, P

"That's right, Vanessa likes it when we let her know exactly what time it is!" P

The cuckoo clock and the wall clock realized that it was more important to let people know exactly what time it was than to boast about their sounds. P

And they regretted having argued with each other. P

"Wall Clock, I'm sorry for having said that your sound was too loud." P

And the wall clock said, P

"No, no! I'm sorry that I was angry with you. P

than to be heard above the rest." P

And as it turned 5 o'clock, "Ding-dong, Ding-dong," "Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo!" P

The wall clock and the cuckoo clock chimed the time happily together. P

It's located on the left side of the body. P

When it's empty it is about the size of a fist, but after a meal it can stretch to a size of a melon. P
