One day, a boy named Tim found a shiny copper coin on the ground. He was so happy that he wanted to show his friend, Sam. Tim ran to Sam's house with the copper coin in his hand. On the way, he saw a big dog. The dog looked silly with a funny hat on its head. Tim laughed and said, "Look at that silly dog!"
Tim met Sam and showed him the copper coin. Sam liked it too. He asked, "Can I hold it?" Tim said, "Yes, but be careful!" Sam took the coin and they went to play near the pond.
While playing near the pond, Sam's hand slipped and he dropped the copper coin. It fell into the pond and sank to the bottom. Tim and Sam tried to get it back, but they couldn't. They were both sad and went home. The copper coin was lost in the pond forever.
