through personified household fixtures in a child's bedroom. The five main characters (an alarm clock, lamp, door, shower head, and dresser) enjoy a daily pattern of routine as the child begins his day, until the clock gets offended by unkind words and chooses not to ring in order to wake the child. This leads to a chaotic result as the child rushes to leave. The main characters then realize that the alarm clock is a necessary part of their morning routine and ask forgiveness. This restores the peaceful order of each day.
