Once upon a time, there was a new town named Happyville. Everyone in the town was always happy and always on time. But one day, the town clock broke. It was a very heavy clock and it fell off the wall and broke into pieces. The town's people were very worried, because they didn't know what time it was. They asked the old clock maker in the town to fix it.
The clock maker said, "It's easy to fix the clock, but it will take me a while." So, the people of Happyville decided to live without a clock for a few days.
But, it was very difficult for them to know what time it was. Some people woke up early and others woke up late. The town became a mess. Some people were getting to their jobs late and others were getting there too early.
One day, a light bulb went off in the head of the town's mayor. He had an idea. He said, "Let's use the sun as a clock!" So, the town's people started to use the sun to know what time it was. If the sun was high in the sky, it was noon. If the sun was low, it was morning. And, if the sun was setting, it was evening.
The town's people were so happy with the new way of telling time. They were never late or early again. The old clock was finally fixed and put back on the wall, but the town's people never used it again. They liked using the sun as their clock much better.
And, from that day on, the town was named Sunville and it was always a happy place where everyone was always on time.
