Once upon a time, there was a group of latex balloons who lived in a big vat filled with sap. They loved playing and bouncing around in the sticky sap all day long. But one day, they discovered a strange substance called paraffin wax that had been accidentally poured into their vat. The balloons tried to play with it, but found it was too tacky and wouldn't let them bounce.
So they decided to form a plan to get rid of the wax. They made a big wad of it and tried to discard it, but it wouldn't budge. Suddenly, one smart balloon suggested they try to stretch it into a mesh. And with a little effort, they managed to turn the tacky wax into a fun trampoline!
From then on, the balloons had a blast jumping on the new mesh trampoline and munching on cud (which is a type of food for cows). They were never bored again!

Reflections

1. What did the latex balloons do when they first found the tacky paraffin wax in their vat?
2. How did the balloons get rid of the tacky wax?
3. What did the balloons use the transformed tacky wax for?
4. Why were the balloons never bored again after transforming the wax?
