The box

[Frog Morton]

*a box of notes is left on the doorsteps of a union house*

*the first note reads*
There once was a great Tick heard from every corner of the lands. Shortly after a great and even more powerful Tock was heard from every corner of the lands. Then there was peace.

*the second note reads*
Tickith Tockith goes the Great Clock not ever late to put a tockith to its tickith.

*also found in the box on a torn parchment*
Tickith Tockith TIOCKITH.

*the final note written in golden letters*
The ticking of the clocks was deafening, but the tocking soothed Rico's soul
