Once upon a time, there was a clock that was always up to play. Although, it was a bit dangerous as it would entertain with its ticking and tocking sounds. One day, the clock decided to get up and join the other toys to play. But, every time it tried to move, it would fall over and make a loud noise. The other toys were afraid of it and didn't want to play with it. The clock felt sad and left out.

Just then, a little girl came into the room. She saw the clock lying on the ground and decided to help it. She picked it up, fixed it, and placed it back on the shelf. The clock was so grateful and started to tick and tock again, but this time in a happy rhythm. The other toys were now curious and wanted to play with the clock. They all had a great time together and the clock was no longer dangerous, but instead, it was a fun toy to play with. The end.
