Answer 1

The Broken Clock
Leo lived in a world where time was a suggestion, not a rule. His mornings were a frantic blur, and his lack of punctuality caused chaos. He missed the bus, was late for school, and left his homework unfinished. His most treasured possession was an old, broken pocket watch, which he saw as a symbol of his freedom from schedules.
One Saturday, his family planned a trip to a beautiful waterfall, with a strict rule to leave at 6:00 AM. Leo set his alarms, determined to be on time, but they failed. He woke up late and watched from his porch as the family car drove away without him. He later learned they had witnessed a magical sunrise at the waterfall, a sight he had missed entirely.
Sitting alone with his broken watch, he realized it wasn't a charm but a metaphor for his life—stuck in time while the world moved on. He decided to fix his life, just as he would fix the watch. He took it to a repair shop, and as its gears began to turn again, he felt a profound shift. He started waking up early and being punctual for everything. As his life fell into place, his friends and family noticed the change. He finally understood that time was precious, and he was tired of wasting it. He and the others learnt a lesson to live with the thought “Be Punctual”.
