Mr. Rush answers the titular question, saying "Hurry up! Let's not waste another minute! Let's hurry! There are so many things to do! First, we have to get the kids to school. On time! Then go to work. On time! We have plans during the day. We have to be on time! And in the evening we have to go shopping. Shops... always close at the same time! To do all this, you need to know the time. And the best way to know the time is... by wearing a watch!" while sympathizing with the reader.
