five o'clock
`` What ho , my merry men ! '' cried Santa Claus , `` you have been working very hard . Stop now , and have lunch , for we must work overtime to-night so that we may finish a lot of toys to be taken down to Earth . But now I will give you a little rest , though it is not five o'clock , when we usually stop . '' `` Hurray ! '' cried the merry little men . They gladly laid down their tools and put aside the half-finished toys on which they had been working .
