Once upon a time, there was a big, red ball. It was perfect and shiny. One day, the ball saw a pretty jewel. The jewel was stuck in ice. The ball wanted to help the jewel.
The ball asked a friend, a small, warm rock. "Can you help me get the jewel?" The rock said, "Yes, I can help. But we must be careful."
The ball and the rock tried to free the jewel. They pushed and pushed, but the ice started to freeze more. The rock warned, "We must stop now, or the jewel will be stuck forever."
But the ball did not listen. It pushed harder and harder. The ice froze more and more. The jewel was stuck forever. The ball was sad, and the rock was sad too. They learned that sometimes, you must listen to your friends.
