the sticky business
In a small village lived a few hundred people. Everyone's doing the same routine from day to day until, many years ago, the church clock suddenly stopped. It had been striking hours day and night before. Nobody could explain why it stopped. So some people became robbers and thieves. One day the vicar climbed into the clock tower to chase a thief. This thief had stolen his gun to shoot himself at the tower. Instead the vicar found that the clock had been invaded by bees. The clock in front of them was full of honey and wax. The thief and him were both shocked. "Got a gun for you," the black queen bee said. The vicar's hand was turned into a stick, which he then used to hit the thief until fainted. The next day a bee keeper was called up there and evicted the magical queen bee in the daylight through many efforts. Other bees followed her, thus the clock was cleaned. Now that the clock is working, the village returned to be the best village once again.Notes:
1. I don't understand the causality between the robberies and the stopping of the clock.
2. This thief stole the vicar's gun to shoot himself meaning the thief intended to shoot at the thief.
This thief stole the vicar's gun to shoot him meaning the thief intended to shoot at the vicar.
3. Why did the queen bee help the vicar?
4. How about the vicar's hand, is it still a stick at the end of the story?

In a small village lived a few hundred people and everything went along in the same routine. Until the day many years ago when the church clock suddenly stopped striking the hours day and night; but no one could explain why. Afterwards, some villagers became robbers and thieves. One day the vicar climbed into the clock tower to chase a thief who had stolen his gun to shoot from the tower. There, he discovered that the clock had been invaded by bees. It was full of honey and wax. He and the thief were both shocked. "I have your gun", the black queen bee said. The vicar's hand was turned into a stick, at which he hit the thief and the thief fainted. A bee keeper was called up there the next day and removed the magical queen bee during daylight through many efforts. And then other bees followed behind it. Soon after the clock was cleaned. Now it works again and the village has once more become a perfect place.
