One day, a thoughtful boy named Tim found some clay. He wanted to make something fun with it. He thought about what to make and decided to make a ball. Tim rolled the clay into a big round ball. He was very happy with his ball.
Tim went to play with his friend Sue. He showed her the clay ball and said, "Look, I made a ball with clay!" Sue liked the ball and wanted to make something too. She thought for a moment and said, "I will make a box that the ball can fit in!"
Sue made a box out of clay, and they tried to fit the ball inside. But the ball was too big! They were surprised. Tim said, "Let's make the ball smaller so it can fit in the box." They made the ball smaller and tried again. This time, the ball fit in the box!
Tim and Sue were very happy. They played with the clay ball and box all day. And when they were done, they put the ball in the box and closed it. The next day, they opened the box and found a clay cat inside! The clay ball had turned into a cat! They were so surprised and laughed together. They played with their new clay cat and had lots of fun.
