Tick and Tock are two playful clocks that live on the wall of Tommy's bedroom. As the sun peeks through the window, Tick says with a yawn, 'Good morning, Tock! It's time to start the day. Look, it's 7:00 A.M.' Tock replies, 'I'm ready, Tick! Let's tick and tock our way through the day!'
At 8:00 A.M., the clock's hands form a straight line. Tick exclaims, 'We're straight as an arrow, Tock!' Tock giggles and says, 'We're doing great, Tick!'
By 9:00 A.M., both clocks start swinging round and round. Tick shouts, 'We're spinning like tops!' Tock laughs, 'Round and round we go, Tick!'
When it's 10:00 A.M., Tick and Tock take turns chiming. Tick says proudly, 'I love my chime, Tock!' Tock nods and replies, 'And I love your chime too, Tick!'
At 11:00 A.M., Tick and Tock make funny faces with their hands. Tick grins, 'Look, I'm giving a high-five!' Tock giggles, 'And I'm making a peace sign, Tick!'
When it's 12:00 P.M, the clocks meet at the top. Tick says excitedly, 'We're both up here, Tock!' Tock beams, 'High in the sky, Tick! We're on top of the world!'
As the day continues, Tick and Tock go through the hours, always having fun together. They make shapes, play hide-and-seek, and even do a little dance. They remind Tommy when it's time to eat, play, and time for bed.
Finally, at 8:00 P.M., Tick yawns and says, 'It's bedtime, Tock. We had an amazing day!' Tock replies sleepily, 'Yes, we did, Tick. Goodnight, dear friend.' The clocks close their eyes, ready for a good night's rest until the next adventure.
