Armed with a torch, the vicar went up into the clock tower to see what was going on. In the torchlight, he caught si

You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise.”
4、“You certainly did give me a surprise!” said the vicar. “Youve probably woken up everyone in the village as well. Still, Im glad the bell is working again.”“Thats the trouble, vicar,” answered Bill. “Its working all right, but Im afraid that at one oclock it will strike thirteen times and theres not
