NAME:

Ivo really fixes the clock

The residents laughed a lot because of the clock, but Mrs. Dino is furious.
– What advantage has a clock that chimes correctly but goes backwards? – she asks the monkey Ivo.
'Well, there aren't many of them, so we're famous now,' Ivo replies lamely.
- But the face of the clock must show the right time, and the chimes must ring the right number of times - Ms. Dino points out.

So, Ivo takes the ladder and climbs up to the clock tower again.
“I better do it right this time,” he worries.
He takes several pieces of the watch, polishes them and puts them back. – Now I'm going to wind the clock and start it. Oh, I really hope I fixed it this time – he sighs.
He comes down from the stairs and sits on a bench where he can see the clock. “I've been awake for several nights, worried about this clock,” he thinks. Their eyes slowly close. Soon he is sleeping soundly. Above him, the clock works.
Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah!
Ivo jumps to his feet.
- What time is it? What time is it? - he yells at Mrs. Dino.
– Well, it's five o'clock, Ivo! - she smile. – I think you really fixed it this time! He's walking forward and chiming the right number of times! You did it! - She gives you a big hug.
- Ufa! - murmurs Ivo, as he returns home with his ladder. - What a relief.
