'Whatever are youdoing up here Bill?' asked the vicar in surprise.
'I'm trying torepair the bell,' answered Bill. 'I've been coming up here night after nightfor weeks now. You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise.'
'You certainly didgive me a surprise!' said the vicar. 'You've probably woken up everyone in thevillage as well. Still, I'm glad the bell is working again.'
'That's thetrouble, vicar,' answered Bill. 'It's working all right, but I'm afraid that atone o'clock it will strike 13 times and there's nothing I can do about it.'
'We'll get used tothat Bill,' said the vicar. '13 is not as good as one but it's better thannothing. Now let's go downstairs and have a cup of tea.'
