There is a monster and he has a bunny car. He used to love it but it is old and boring to him. As he is walking he sees something shiny and bright. It is a balloon. The monster tries to grab it but the car is in the way. He places the car on the ground and it begins to role. He stops it and knows he will have to let it go if he wants the balloon. He lets the car go and is able to reach the balloon. After only having the balloon for several seconds the balloon pops. The monster is left with nothing. The monster finds the bunny car and has to work to get it back. he is successful and he will think twice before letting his friend go so easily next time.

concept: Value, never take what you have for granted. Children these days take a lot of things for granted. The break their toys and just get new ones. In a world where so many things a disposable children are not being taught to value what they have.
