Once upon a time, there were shiny rocks that everyone wanted. These rocks were special because they helped make cool things like cars and lights. But most of these rocks came from a faraway place called China. People from other lands, like Australia, wanted to find their own shiny rocks. They thought if they had more shiny rocks, they could make more fun things. So, they tried to dig up their own. But it was tricky! They needed lots of help and money. The grown-ups wondered if they would ever have as many shiny rocks. And that’s the moral to the story. 🚗💡
