There was once a clock whose tick and tock were irregular. He began to worry as he though that if he could not fulfil his duties his owner would get rid of him. As he sat on he shelf a pig trotted in looking happy and content. The clock talked to him about his worries and asked the pig why he was so happy. The pig said, ‘well I am able to do what the farmer asks of me. He feeds me and I eat, he gives me shelter in which I sleep and he provides water so that the earth becomes muddy and I can immerse myself, all which bring me great joy.
One day the clock watched as the farmer lead the pig into a shed, from which he never returned. The clock worried about the pig and thought he would never see him again. A few weeks later the farmer was eating sausages on the kitchen. As the clock watched the sausages said to him, even now I am happy as I can still fulfil the farmer’s need, and at that point the clock stopped forever.
