Our vicar is always raising money for one cause or another, but he has never managed to get enough money to have the church clock repaired.

ˈaʊə ˈvɪkər ɪz ˈɔːlweɪz ˈreɪzɪŋ ˈmʌni fɔː wʌn kɔːz ɔːr əˈnʌðə, bʌt hiː hæz ˈnɛvə ˈmænɪʤd tuː gɛt ɪˈnʌf ˈmʌni tuː hæv ðə ʧɜːʧ klɒk rɪˈpeəd.

The big clock which used to strike the hours day and night was damaged many years ago and has been silent ever since.

ðə bɪg klɒk wɪʧ juːzd tuː straɪk ði ˈaʊəz deɪ ænd naɪt wɒz ˈdæmɪʤd ˈmɛni jɪəz əˈgəʊ ænd hæz biːn ˈsaɪlənt ˈɛvə sɪns. 

One night, however, our vicar woke up with a start: the clock was striking the hours!

wʌn naɪt, haʊˈɛvə, ˈaʊə ˈvɪkə wəʊk ʌp wɪð ə stɑːt: ðə klɒk wɒz ˈstraɪkɪŋ ði ˈaʊəz!

Looking at his watch, he saw that it was one o'clock, but the bell struck 13 times before it stopped.

ˈlʊkɪŋ æt hɪz wɒʧ, hiː sɔː ðæt ɪt wɒz wʌn əˈklɒk, bʌt ðə bɛl strʌk 13 taɪmz bɪˈfɔːr ɪt stɒpt.

Armed with a torch, the vicar went up into the clock tower to see what was going on.

ɑːmd wɪð ə tɔːʧ, ðə ˈvɪkə wɛnt ʌp ˈɪntuː ðə klɒk ˈtaʊə tuː siː wɒt wɒz ˈgəʊɪŋ ɒn.

In the torchlight, he caught sight of a figure whom he immediately recognised as Bill Wilkins, our local grocer.

ɪn ðə ˈtɔːʧlaɪt, hiː kɔːt saɪt ɒv ə ˈfɪgə huːm hiː ɪˈmiːdiətli ˈrɛkəgnaɪzd æz bɪl ˈwɪlkɪnz, ˈaʊə ˈləʊkəl ˈgrəʊsə.
