"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

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

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

And they regretted having argued with each other. 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

It protects the stomach from the gastric juice. P
Sometimes people get ulcers in the stomach. P
An ulcer happens when people get stressed and the acid burns a hole in our stomach. P
