“Dwarves in a coal mine! Just like a fairy tale!”
“You like fairy tales? This clock has a terribly romantic fairy tale that comes with it. Watch what happens on the clock face.”
“Oh! Its a fairy!”
“She is now, but soon she will turn back into a sheep.”
“ The two of them are in love, aren’t they?”
“Um hmm, but they are always apart. He is the king of the dwarves and lives underground, while she is cursed to live as a sheep. Only while the clock strikes 12, is she a fairy. So the king appears at that moment just to catch a glimpse of the girl he fell in love with. What do you bet, the artisan who made this clock was separated from the love of his life?“
