The Pendulum that Refused to Work

     Have you read or heard the story about the clock that stopped working? The clock couldn't point out the correct time anymore because Pendulum was sick and tired of doing much of the clock's work. He thought it was unjust to have to swing to and fro at every second while Minute hand move only every 60 seconds and the Hour hand, only after every 3,600 seconds or 60 minutes. Numbers, on the face of the clock were even worst, for they didn't move at all! And so, because of what he thought of as an injustice, he refused to swing. Because of Pendulum's refusal to move, the whole clock stopped.

    "Why should I do all the work?" Pendulum sadly said.

     The Minute hand and the Hour hand argued with Pendulum.They pointed out that each of them had a different duty and were made for that duty. The Minute hand explained that all of them worked toward a common goal, to give people the right time.

     At last Pendulum was convinced and agreed to do its duty again. And all the parts of the clock started to work together peacefully. The people became very happy.

Unity is needed to success in life. 

Without unity in life, life will be miserable and chaos.
