One of my favourites, this story is about the a monk known as Sweeper (Lu Tze) and his trainee (Lobsang Ludd) and their attempt to stop the great glass clock from chiming and so thwart the auditors of reality from destroying what they hate most - people. During their journey together we learn about time, and why sometimes there doesn't seem to be enough. We learn the value of Rule One (do not act incaustiously when confronting little bald wrinkly smiling men!) and the Way of Mrs Cosmopilite. I love this story and afterall is it not written "I wasn't born yesterday"
