A remote village in Poland...
Illustration
A remote village in Poland had not been visited by a clockmaker for many years. After a while, the village clocks were all showing different times. Most villagers gave up winding their useless clocks.
One day a wandering clockmaker finally arrived in the village. The villagers ran up to him with their clocks to have them repaired and set again. But the clocks had rusted and corroded from long hours of neglect, all except for one clock, whose owner faithfully wound it every day. Even though the villager knew it was not telling the right time, he remained hopeful that a clockmaker one day would come to the village.
