The Clockmaker's Quiet Apprentice

One boy who could not sit still, one master who teaches quiet like a trade. Tonight's tale follows the clockmaker's apprentice through his education in stillness: the shop of tick and tock, the first lesson in listening, the second lesson in stillness, the third lesson in patience, the quiet test, the midnight regulator, the graduation clock, the cuckoo's rebellion, the shop cat's timekeeping, the wound clocks of the town, the silent supper, the apprentice teaching, the bell tuner's visit, the pocket watch collection, the strike train symphony, the apprentice's loupe, the watch that could not be fixed, the apprentice's birthday clock, the key collection, and the shop sleeping into soft close.
