In a small town in France, there lived an old man named Pierre. He was a very special time repairman. He lived in a small house on the edge of the town, and the house was full of all kinds of strange tools and parts, which were all his treasures for repairing time.
Pierre's job was to fix the broken time. You might be curious. How could time be broken? Actually, when people are always reminiscing about the past, regretting not having cherished the once - beautiful moments, or always worrying about the future and ignoring the happy moments at present, time seems to have cracks.
One day, a little girl ran crying to Pierre's house. Her name was Lucy. She told Pierre that she had lost the happiest time with her grandmother. It turned out that her grandmother had passed away, and she suddenly realized that she hadn't accompanied her grandmother well before. She was always busy playing with her own toys. Now she regretted it very much and felt that that wonderful time had been ruined by herself.
After hearing Lucy's words, Pierre gently stroked her head and said, "Child, don't be too sad. Although time seems to be broken, we can still fix it." Then, Pierre took Lucy into his studio. The studio was filled with a faint smell of wood, and the walls were hung with old clocks.
Pierre took out a strange tool, which looked like a glittering golden key. He told Lucy that this key could open the door of time and let them go back to the past. However, they couldn't change the things that had already happened in the past. They could only re - experience those beautiful moments and learn to cherish them.
Pierre inserted the key into a huge clock, and the hands of the clock began to turn slowly. Suddenly, a soft light flashed, and they came to the garden where Lucy and her grandmother were. The garden was full of all kinds of beautiful flowers, and the grandmother was watering the flowers with a happy smile on her face.
When Lucy saw her grandmother, she couldn't help but shed tears again. She wanted to run over and hug her grandmother, but Pierre held her back. Pierre said, "We can only watch quietly and feel this beauty." So, Lucy stood there, quietly watching her grandmother watering and pruning the flower branches. She saw that her grandmother looked up at the direction of the house from time to time. She was looking for her. Lucy was full of guilt in her heart, and she secretly vowed that she would cherish every moment with her relatives in the future.
After a while, Pierre turned the key again, and they returned to the real world. Lucy felt as if she had become a different person. She was no longer immersed in regret, but full of expectation for the future. She knew that she should cherish every minute and second of the present and not let time have cracks again.
Since then, Lucy often went to Pierre's house to listen to him tell more stories about time. She also told this magical experience to other children in the town, so that everyone knew that they should cherish the wonderful time at present.
