Si Timey Tommy ay isang mabait na batang orasan na mahilig tumulong sa iba upang malaman ang tamang oras. Isang araw, habang naglalakad siya sa parke, may nakita siyang isang batang nagngangalang Lia na nalilito sa kanyang orasan. "Timey Tommy, paano ko malalaman kung anong oras na?" tanong ni Lia. Ngumiti si Timey Tommy at sinabi, "Madali lang ‘yan! May dalawang kamay ang orasan. Ang maikling kamay ay para sa ORAS, at ang mahabang kamay ay para sa MINUTO!" Ipinakita ni Timey Tommy ang kanyang sariling mukha na hugis-orasan. Ang maikling kamay niya ay nakaturo sa 8, at ang mahabang kamay niya ay nakaturo sa 12. "Kapag ang mahabang kamay ay nasa 12, ito ay tinatawag na ‘O’clock’! Ibig sabihin, ang oras ay 8:00!" paliwanag ni Timey Tommy. "Ah! Kaya pala! Kapag ang maikling kamay ay nasa 3 at ang mahabang kamay ay nasa 12, ibig sabihin ay 3:00!" tuwang-tuwang sagot ni Lia. "Tama! Ngayon, handa ka nang malaman ang tamang oras!" sabi ni Timey Tommy. Mula noon, hindi na nalilito si Lia sa pagbabasa ng orasan. Lagi niyang naaalala ang sinabi ni Timey Tommy: “Ang maikling kamay ay para sa oras, at ang mahabang kamay ay para sa minuto!” ________________________________________

Der Bärenprinz und das freche Häschen Es war einmal ein Prinz namens Stefan, der einen Bärenkopf hatte. Er lebte im schönen Kreyenbrück seinem Reich und war freundlich und geduldig. Eines Tages traf er Ece, eine freche Prinzessin aus Türkei die zwar einen menschlichen Körper hatte, aber mit Hasenohren gesegnet war. Sie neckte Stefan oft und machte aufregende Dinge ohne ihn. „Du bist nur gut genug, um den Parkplatz zu bewachen!“, rief sie kichernd. Ece liebte Abenteuer. Sie ging auf Drachenjagd, aß das leckerste Eis der Stadt und erlebte lustige Ausflüge – immer ohne Stefan. Der arme Prinz mit dem Bärenkopf fühlte sich oft allein. „Warum lässt sie mich nie mitkommen?“, fragte er sich. Doch Stefan gab nicht auf. Trotz Eces Neckereien blieb er freundlich und höflich. Eines Tages sprach er sie an: „Ece, vielleicht könnten wir eines deiner Abenteuer zusammen erleben. Ich möchte nicht nur für den Parkplatz da sein!“ Ece schaute ihn überrascht an und lächelte. „Weißt du, Stefan, ich habe dich die ganze Zeit getestet. Du bist stark, geduldig und freundlich. Ich glaube, ich mag dich.“ Stefan war erstaunt, aber auch froh. Er lächelte zurück. Von diesem Tag an erlebten der Bärenprinz und die Prinzessin mit den Hasenohren ihre Abenteuer gemeinsam. Sie jagten Drachen, aßen Eis und erkundeten die Welt – zusammen. Und am Ende, obwohl sie aus verschiedenen Welten und Religionen kamen, heirateten sie. Denn sie wussten, dass ihre Liebe stärker war als alles andere. Ende
