The Day London Stopped Working
Everything in London ran like clockwork. The buses, the boats, the school children, the Queen and the MPs were always right on time. And the reason for this was Big Ben. It's huge, golden clock face shone over the people and never let them down. Until, that is, the day when disaster struck. What started as a little bit of rain and a light wind, soon gathered pace and turned into a huge hurricane. All the people in the streets ran for cover. From the top of the London Eye their tiny umbrellas looked like beetles and sweeties. Before long, the streets were empty. The next day dawned bright and blue and everybody hoped it would be a normal day. However, it wasn't normal at all. The teachers were late for school and the children were there before dawn. The milk float didn't turn up so the children had to eat dry cereal for breakfast and the ice cream van came round while they were still in lessons. The morning newspapers arrived in the evening and the night buses were still running at 9am. The Prime Minister had her full English at 1pm and the Queen slept in until 3pm
Meanwhile, far from the chaos, right at the bottom of Big Ben lived a family of mice. The youngest mouse was called Graham. He wanted to be an Air Traffic Controller but his Mummy said he was too small and too mousey. "Mice belong in the cellars not up in the sky", his Mummy said. Graham was so cross and disappointed that he went out for a walk in the streets. He soon saw that everyone was in a muddle and wondered why this was. He saw everyone pointing up at Big Ben and when he looked up he saw that the hands were NOT MOVING!! Thinking fast, he ran back inside and made his way up. And up and up and up. He'd never been higher than the canteen on the ground floor before. He soon realised that he MUST NOT look down. Finally, he made it up the 180 feet to the clock face. It looked bigger than the moon itself. He crawled over it trying to work out the problem. Eventually, he saw that a pigeon feather had blown in and jammed the minute hand. He pulled with all his might but the feather was four times his size and stuck fast. He wanted to give up but he could see that the little people below needed his help. With one last tug the feather gave way but so did his grip on the clock! The next thing he knew he was riding the feather as it floated gently down, all the way back to the foot of the tower and the little hole to his home. When his Mummy asked where he'd been, Graham said he'd just been in his control tower saving London. Mummy laughed and gave him a thimble of milk and a Digestive crumb.
