Once there was a very fine clock that was named Ticky. His friend, Professor Horace John Morris, had brought Ticky from Switzerland one day, in the winter time, many years ago. Since then Ticky and the Professor had become very good friends and they understood each other well. Professor Horace John Morris did not like when people called him “Professor Horace”, and that is why Ticky called him “Professor Morris” first and then he called him “Professor John”, which pleased the Professor very much.

“You are a very fine clock, Tick,” he said one night. “You are always on time, and you are never too fast or too slow. In fact, you are the most confident of all my friends.”

“I’m happy to hear it, Professor John,” Ticky answered, “and I know that my grandfather, who lives in a castle on top of a mountain in Austria, will also be happy to hear it.”

“To be perfectly honest, Ticky,” said Professor John, “I usually do not care about grandfather’s clocks. They are so very tall that one can never look into their faces and see what they are thinking. But your grandfather must be a very special clock, because it is always a good thing to have a grandfather who lives in a castle.”
