Chapter 1:
During a time in the Revolutionary War, General George Washington and his troops fought bravely, but there was one soldier who was too cowardly.
"Where is Muddlemore," asks Gen. Washington.
"Probably hiding as usual, Sir!"
...
Jonathan Wellington Muddlemore and his cat, Boo were hiding. They deserted the others. "I know, Boo, but I don't want to die," says Muddlemore. They hid in this old house. "Wait, I hear something!" He then sees two redcoats. "We have to hide!" So, they hid in the grandfather clock…
...
The redcoats left and Muddlemore and Boo were still in the clock. "Time to get out! Get it?" He tries, but he couldn't. "What's happening?" The clock, itself was cursed! Muddlemore and Boo were be in there even if they die and they can only be freed if someone corrects the time on the clock.
