NAME:

Ivo fix the clock

– It's time for our village clock to go back to work! - complains Mrs. Dino – It's been months since that snowstorm broke it!
The monkey Ivo says:
- I agree. I'll ask Mr. Horse if I can try to get it working again.
Later, Ivo climbs a ladder to the clock tower in the center of the village.
“Oh, it's pretty loud up here,” he mutters. He is seeing the entire village below. Mrs. Dino says goodbye to him, and he does it back.

'Okay, let's get started,' he says and starts taking the watch apart. Soon, the pieces are all spread out on the floor.
– So this piece goes here... And that piece goes there, I think... No, maybe not – he says to himself.
A few hours later, it ends.
- Ready! This will work! – he winds the mechanism and sets the clock to work.
- That's it! – he yells, when the clock starts ticking. Then he goes downstairs, happy to have fixed it.
Bong! Bong! Bong!
– There goes the clock ringing! – Ivo smiles. He looks at the clock upstairs. - It's six o'clock.
- There is? - He frowns. – I heard three chimes.
- Me too - says Mrs. Dino, approaching him.
She's been watching all the work.
– I wonder what went wrong – Ivo fumbles. – At least it's working and shows the right time, even if the chimes are wrong – he says, a little embarrassed. He goes home to think.
