The Adventure of Timmy and the Bridge Bucket

Once upon a time, there was a young child named Timmy who lived near a bridge. Timmy loved to explore and one day while playing, he noticed that the bridge had a bucket hanging from a chain. He climbed up to take a closer look and found a certificate that said the bucket had a special capacity to hold things. Timmy was curious and started to fill the bucket with stones. But as he filled it, the bucket started to swing towards the centroid of the bridge. Suddenly, the circuit that held the chain broke and the bucket fell into the river below. Timmy quickly realized the importance of knowing the capacity of things and not overloading them. From that day on, he always made sure to check the certificates before using anything and never took risks that could cause harm. The end.
