But certainly Doris Thomas respected the clock. She went to it after the little bird came out to do his thing. She bent over the little door her lips close to the wood. Do you hear me? she whispered. I think you re the most wonderful cuckoo in the world. She paused embarrassed. I hope you ll like it here. Did you ever wonder at the lonely life the bird in a cuckoo clock has to lead -- wrote the editor of Fantastic Universe in January 1954 blurbing this tale -- that it might possibly love and hate just as easily as a real animal of flesh and blood? Philip Dick used that idea for this brief fantasy tale. We re sure that after reading it you ll give cuckoo clocks more respect.
