Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tim. He had a favorite hat that he loved to wear. One day, his hat was gone. Tim was sad.
He looked everywhere for his hat. He saw his mom washing clothes. Tim saw his hat in the washing machine. His hat was shrinking! The hat was fragile, so it could break easily. Tim was worried.
Tim told his mom about the hat. She knew what to do. She took the hat out of the washing machine. She put it on the sun to dry. The hat stopped shrinking. Tim was happy. He learned to be careful with his fragile hat.
