the church bells that lie

There is a big church in the center of Krakow which is called the Saint Mary's church. It's the biggest one in town and it's considered a masterpiece of the gothic art. However, the bells on the Saint Mary's church tower lie. They ring eight times at 7.00 a.m. and seven times at 8.00 a.m. A few people have checked and it's true. I never pay attention to such stuff, but I guess people who live there may notice such things.

I have a friend who rents an attic in one of the old houses in the city center. It's right next to that Saint Mary's church and he uses the bells as an alarm clock. The other morning he woke up and counted... and when he reached the number eight, he jumped out of bed. He got really confused about the actual time.

The church bells told him it's eight, but in fact it's only seven.

There are so many bells in my life that tell me different things. That purity, honesty and faithfulness are old fashioned. Or that money is the most important thing in the world... In fact it's still seven o'clock.

I wonder if they ever fix it. The other bells won't be fixed so easily though.

There's a bunch of church bells here in Amsterdam that ring out the time a half-hour early.  I've started getting used to it, but I still don't know why they do this. 

I think they also ring at the hour on the hour, but I haven't been listening for that.
