Once upon a time, there was a boy named Tim who loved to play outside. One day, he was fishing by a tree near his house when a girl named Mia walked by. Suddenly, they heard a loud ticking coming from inside the house. They ran to the door and found that the clock had come alive! It was jumping from room to room, causing chaos everywhere it went.

Tim and Mia chased the clock through the windows and around the furniture until they finally caught it. But just as they were about to put it back on the wall, the clock started ticking faster and faster until it disappeared into thin air!

The next day, Tim and Mia went back to the tree to fish and saw the clock hanging from a branch. It was back to normal and ticking away happily. From that day on, Tim and Mia made sure to give the clock a good home and never chased it again. And the tree by the house continued to be their favorite fishing spot.
