A long time ago, there lived a poor family. The parents were sick, so they couldn't get any money, and their daughter always tried to get them food.
One day the girl went outside to get food like always, and then she saw a beggar. The girl asked the beggar where she could get food, but the beggar just told her about a magic clock that stands on a pedestal on the peak of the biggest of the twelve mountains.
The girl asked the women what the clock does, but the beggar said no one knows it. The girl turned around and saw an apple tree and took ten apples, then she found bread on the ground and went home to tell her parents about the news. After a while she decided to find that clock, and she gave her parents all her food and went on her way to the twelve mountains. It took her three days to get to the mountains, and when she saw them, she was really excited.
After seven hours, she got to the peak of the mountain, and she saw a small cave. She wasn't sure if she should do it but went inside and saw that it wasn't that scary, how she thought. Then the girl saw the golden clock that stood on a golden pedestal with roses and flowers on it. She took the clock and ran outside of the cave because the stones of the cave almost fell on her.
After three days the girl finally was home, but she didn't know what to do now, so she went to the spot where the beggar was sitting when they first met. The woman was still sitting there! The girl asked the beggar what to do if you were to find the clock. The girl didn't say that she found the clock because she was too scared that the woman was going to steal the clock.
The beggar gave the girl a note and said that she needs to say what's written on the note and then turn the clock as much as she wants. The girl went happy home and read the note.
After a while she said, "Oh you clock, oh you time, bring my parents cheer!" Then she turned the clock to the time when her parents weren't sick. After that, her parents weren't sick anymore and could go to work and get money.
