Don't Fix It

One Story A Day

Don't Fix It uke had a new alarm clock. It was big and round with two bells on top. It ticked and tocked all night long. In the morning, it jangled and rang loud enough to wake the whole neighbourhood! Luke wondered how it worked. So, he used his father's tools to open the clock. Springs and bits exploded everywhere! Luke tried to put them all back in the clock, but they wouldn't fit. So, he sat on the clock until it closed. He turned the key and shook the clock. It made funny rattling noises, but it wouldn't tick or tock! Luke put the springs and bits in a box. He decided to take the box to his Uncle Tony.

Uncle Tony looked at the bits. He looked at Luke. Then, he got his car and took Luke to the store to buy a new clock. “ Remember, Luke! ” Uncle Tony said, " If something works, DON'T FIX IT! ”
