Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a group of creatures called the Time-Keepers. They were responsible for keeping track of time and making sure that everything ran smoothly.
One day, the leader of the Time-Keepers, a wise old owl named Wisely, called a meeting. "Friends," he said, "I have a problem. I just realized that we've been doing something wrong all these years!"
All the Time-Keepers gasped in shock. What could they have possibly been doing wrong?
"We've been counting the minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years all wrong!" Wisely exclaimed. "From now on, we need to do it backwards!"
The Time-Keepers were confused, but Wisely was insistent. "We'll start with the years, then the months, then the weeks, then the days, then the hours, and finally, the minutes," he said.
So, the Time-Keepers set to work, counting backwards from the year, to the month, to the week, to the day, to the hour, and finally, to the minute.
It was a hilarious mess! People woke up at nighttime and went to sleep in the morning. Meals were served for breakfast in the evening and dinner in the morning. Everything was upside down and backward!
The people of the land were bewildered. They had no idea what was happening and why the world had suddenly turned upside down!
Finally, after a week of this madness, Wisely called another meeting. "Friends," he said, "I've made a mistake. We need to go back to counting time the way we used to."
And just like that, the world was back to normal and everyone was relieved. From that day on, the Time-Keepers were extra careful to count the minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years the right way.
And they all lived happily ever after, counting time correctly, and never making the same mistake again! The end.
