### Content
Yes, but this man's painted them soft.
I thought all watches were hard?
The watch is placed on the end of a table and folded at 90°.
I'd like to touch one...
Kind of like melted cheese.
What imagination!
A soft watch...
Just melt a watch like cheese!
Hmm...
You sure have some crazy ideas.
I don't know if it's soft...
But I know a living watch...
And it talks too.
I'd like to help you touch one...
But...
Easy...
It's a soft watch.
You can say that again.
Tale of a watch
Ah...

For example... what time is it right now?
And speaks really well...
It even makes breakfast.
