“The Clockmaker’s Gift”
In a quiet village, an old clockmaker named Eli spent his days repairing timepieces no one else could fix. One winter, a boy named Tomas brought him a broken pocket watch that had belonged to his late father.
Eli examined it and said, “This watch isn’t broken. It’s waiting.”
Confused but hopeful, Tomas returned each day, helping Eli sweep the shop and wind the clocks. Weeks passed, and on the first day of spring, the watch ticked. Eli handed it to Tomas and smiled.
“It needed your patience to remember time again.”
From then on, Tomas visited daily—not for the watch, but for the stories, the quiet, and the feeling that time, sometimes, needs mending. 0 reply
