Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tim. Tim liked to number his toys. One day, Tim saw some ice outside. He wanted to play with the ice. He put on his coat and ran outside.
Tim found a big empty box. He had an idea. "I will put the ice in the box," he said. So he picked up the ice and put it in the box. He numbered the ice, too. "One, two, three," he said.
As Tim played with the ice, it began to melt. "Oh no," he said, "my ice is going away!" The ice turned into water. The box was not empty anymore. Tim was sad. He went back inside his house. The ice was gone, and Tim could not play with it anymore.
