Teddy bear time

When a visitor to Bearborough last year forgot to put on her watch, she asked some local bears the time- and she got some strange answers."Half past three," the bear who sells

fruit and vegetables said, glancing up at the Town Hall clock.

"A quarter to nine," the bear in the bakery replied, looking at the clock high on the church. "Nine minutes after five," the bear who sells ice cream on the corner of the main street said, peering at the clock in front of the train station.

You have probably guessed that all the clocks in Bearborough were wrong. That was because old Mr Minim, the only clock mender in town, had become a little shaky on his legs. Although fit and well in every other way, he simply could not face climbing up a ladder to

mend clocks high up.

As you can imagine, the clocks really were a problem. The trains were never on time, and the shopkeepers didn't know when to open their shops.

Then, one day, Bearborough had two very special visitors. They were a bear called Alfred and his friend Jumblewho was an elephant! Now most bears in Bearborough had never seen an his trunk around each of the littlebears in turn and lifted them up high, squealing with excitement.

"Excuse me, Jumble," said Mr Minim, tapping him lightly on the toe with his walking stick. "Could you lift a grown-up bear, like me, for example?"

In seconds, Mr Minim found himself dangling above the crowd, yet he felt as safe as if he was standing on firm ground. And that is why, if you visit

Bearborough these days, all the clocks are exactly right, for Jumble visits every twelve months, and Mr Minim alwayssays that's the highlight of his year!

What Are Thunder and Lightning?

Lightning is a sudden, violent flash of electricity between a cloud and the ground, or from cloud to cloud. A lightning flash, or bolt, can be severalmiles long. It is so hot, with an average temperature of 34,000° Centigrade, that the air around it suddenly expands

with a loud blast. This is the thunder we hear.

Lightning occurs in hot, wet storms. Moist air is driven up to a great height. It forms a type of cloud called cumulonimbus. When the cloud rises high enough, the moisture freezes and ice crystals and snowflakes are formed. These begin to fall, turning to rain on the way down. This rain meets more moist air rising, and it is the friction between them which produces static electricity. When a cloud is fully charged with this electricity, it discharges it as a lightning flash.
