Read together

Once upon a time, there was a group of friends who wanted to have a New Year's party. They put on their mask and party hats, and got ready to pop some champagne and throw confetti. They set a timer for counting down to the new year. As soon as the timer hit zero, they started to cheer and pop the champagne. But, just as the bubbles were about to reach the top of the glasses, the timer went off again! They realized that the timer wasn't counting down the seconds, but instead timing how long it took for the champagne to fizz. The friends laughed and continued their celebration, drinking fizzy champagne and throwing confetti with joy. The end.
