" I fear ." said Wabbit, pouring the contents of the clock onto his plate. " Thatall is not well."

Pack took a slice of toast and began to butter it.

" Was that the clock with the mouse in it." Pack looked at the contents of theclock scattered on the table.

" Repaired it yesterday." complained Wabbit.

" I did'nt know you could repair mice." Pack looked at Wabbit.

" There is a shop by the cinema that repairs clocks I'll have to take it in."continued Wabbit.

" What are they showing." Pack lifted a small cog off his toast.

Wabbit had used the marmalade spoon to shovel the parts back in.

Wabbit found a zebra crossing. As always held his breath while crossing thebusy road, he skipped onto the pavement with obvious relief.

" You are late." were the words Pack greeted Wabbit with outside the cinemaPack himself had been somewhat late but fortunately for Pack, Wabbit waseven later." No I am right on time." Wabbit pulled out his large pocket watch." Quarter past one."" That's wrong." protested Pack." I didn't miss the buss." Wabbit replied, sticking his nose in the air andwaking into the cinema.Pack followed and almost tripped up on Wabbit coming out.

" What are you doing." ask Pack." Almost forgot." Wabbit held up a brown paper parcel.

Pack followed Wabbit round to the clockmenders shop next door. Wabbit gave the door apush, the door was obviously asleep.

" It's lunch." said Pack. Wabbit looked at him." The man from the shop has gone to lunch it says soon the door." Pack pointed to a small hand writtennote on the door.

" I don't think I've had lunch." Wabbit stoppedpushing the door." Lets go to the Duchess and Pig." suggested Pack.Wabbit Licked his finger to see which way the windwas blowing.

" I'd rather." he took off his glove and tired again. "Go to the Feather and Floozy." The tips of his earswent a little pink." Why do you like that place." ask Pack." Low tables." replied Wabbit.

Pack and Wabbit tunnelled their way through the tobacco smoke and beerfumes to a table occupied by three empty beer glasses and a well used ashtray.A waiter rushed over to them with the enthusiasm of a man going to thegallows.

" What are you having." ask Pack as Wabbit picked up the menu." Carrot soup, peas, jelly and iced plumb cake." Wabbit suggested." You've forgotten your glasses again." Pack snatched the menu from Wabbit."They only do sandwiches."

The waiter in the meantime had arrived and hovered like a vulture." A pint of Guinness and two ham sandwiches for me and a lemonade and acheese roll for my friend." Pack looked up at the waiter.

The water made no response, the effort of crossing the room had obviouslybeen too much for him and he had died.

" He's asleep." said Wabbit looking carefully at the waiter." Great Scutterbuckets." exclaimed Pack. " So he is."

Wabbit coughed but this had no effect so Wabbit kicked the waiters left legfrom under him.

The waiter crashed down upon thenext table. That woke him up. Hedusted cigarette ash from his dickeyand looked at Pack and Wabbitaccusingly.

" I didn't think you allowed dogs inhere." said Wabbit.

" I want a clock mending." Wabbit held up a brown parcel.

The clock repair man looked down at Wabbit. " Well that is very lucky,because we have run completely out of cream cakes."

Wabbit laughed but only because he wanted his clock mending.

" It's all here." Wabbit put the parcel containing the clock onto the counter." All except this bit." Pack stepped forward and put the small cog he hadfound on his toast down on the counter.

The clock mender carefully untied the string and opened the parcel." How long will it take." Wabbit did not like to leave anyone undisturbed fortoo long.

The clock mender lifted the clock out of the parcel and opened the little doorat the back of it. An expression of what can only be called surprise came overhis face when he saw the contents.

" Well now." the clock repair man came out from a small room behindthe counter.

" What can we do for you."

" Longer than a week." Wabbitpersisted.

The clock mender pored the contentsof the clock out onto the counter.

An odd assortment of cogs, springs,wheels, an old mouse nest and aginger biscuit rolled out onto thecounter.

Wabbit turned to Pack."I apologise." he said in no uncertainmanor.The clock mender looked at Pack.

" He accused me of pinching it atbreakfast." explained Pack.

" Well can you mend it." Wabbit askthe clock mender again.

The clock menders reply came in thefrom of a long silence followed by.

"Your are not serious."

" All the bits are there." Pack smiled.

" It was the mouse that caused the trouble."

" The mouse." the clock mender repeated.

" The mouse." echoed Wabbit.

" How about a new clock." the clock mender tooka clock down from the shelf behind him." This one is very nice and runs for eight days inon a single winding."

He put the clock down on the counter and lookedat Wabbit.

Wabbit looked at it then at Pack. Pack lookeddown at his shoes, he had a brown lace in the leftone.

" Is it raining." ask Wabbit as Pack hung up his mack on the hall stand.

" No I just like walking round in a wet mack." Pack went into the smallkitchen.

" I see youve got it back then." he pointed to the clock standing in its oldposition on the shelf.

" Yes, I went out this morning to get some cream cakes so thought I wouldpick it up at the same time." Wabbit handed Pack a cup of tea.

" It's wrong." said Pack.

" The clock mender said he couldn't do anything with it as it had died of oldage." Wabbit sipped his tea as they both looked at the clock.

" Why did you not get a new one." Pack stirred his tea.

" I think the mouse is quite happy with this one." Wabbit smiled." Where's the sugar."

" More to the point where arethose cream cakes." ask Pack.

" O" said Wabbit.

" He still hadn't got any."

About these booksThis series of books was designed with two functions in mind :-

Firstly as a reading resource for primary education at schools and for privatetuition. They are graded from simple picture books to full text short stories.The layout is simple and designed to be fun and downloaded so they maybe used without being connected to the internet.

The layout and text is designed for easy reading on computer screens.Instructors and parents can be assured there is nothing in these booksthat not suitable for young children.

Secondly or possibly primarily, somewhere for mylittle cartoon characters to live. I have been adraftsman for many years and during idle momentsand in meetings, especially in meetings, littlecharacters get doodled. These characters seem totake on a little life of their own and hang around inthe mind until they eventually find a home in astory. They then seem to go away until the next onecomes along. These books and the original web siteis somewhere to share these little cartooncharacters with. If they give anybody a littleenjoyment then I am well pleased.

These original picture books are free to download,keep, copy, print and use quite freely without anyrestriction. Tony J Moon
