The big clock of our village has been damaged for years,our vicar cared little about it, he failed to raise money to have the church clock repaired.
One night when he was fast asleep,the bell was striking loudly outside,he woke up with a start and found it was one o'clock,but the bell struck thirteen times.
He was so confused and went up into the clock tower to see what has happened.To his surprise,it was our local grocer Bill ,who was trying to repair the bell.
Our vicar was so pleased to see the clock striking the hour successfully .To him, "thought it struck wrongly ,it's better than being silent.
