Ravi adored collecting rocks. He discovered a smooth gray rock, then a shiny one, and then a rock that had a thin white stripe running across it.
Soon his pocket was bulging, and the rocks clinked together. Worse, the weight tugged his pants right down!
Luckily, Dad handed him an empty egg box. Now every rock had its own little spot, and Ravi set the box on his shelf. His pants stayed up.
