This lovely story is a poetic analogy of time, between a grandfather clock and a cell phone. The grandfather clock (representing adults) is teaching the cell phone (representing children) to respect, love, and cherish that moment of life they are in, and stop trying to grow up so fast. The grandfather clock giving countless insight and wisdom to the cell phone by switching shoes ( seeing it from someone elses eyes) , gets the cell phone to see it from a different point of view.
