Tom is a young boy who works in a clock shop. The shop is in a small, quiet village. Tom’s mentor, Mr. Howard, is an old clockmaker. He fixes and builds clocks every day.
One day, while cleaning the shop, Tom finds a small hidden door behind a big shelf. He opens the door and sees a dark, secret room. Inside, there is a strange, shiny clock on a table. The clock looks magical.
Tom touches the clock, and it starts to glow. Suddenly, he finds himself back in the past, just a few minutes earlier. He realizes this clock can turn back time!
At first, Tom is excited. He uses the clock to fix small mistakes, like breaking a cup or dropping a tool. But every time he uses the clock, strange things happen. The room becomes colder, the clocks in the shop stop working, and Tom starts to feel very tired.
Mr. Howard notices something is wrong. “Tom,” he says, “did you touch the secret clock?” Tom tells him the truth.
“That clock is dangerous,” Mr. Howard says. “Every time you use it, it takes a little bit of your life away. It is not for playing.”
Tom is scared and promises never to use the clock again. Together, they hide it in the secret room, and Tom learns an important lesson: some things should not be changed.
From that day on, Tom works hard and never looks at the secret clock again. But he always remembers its strange power.
