Tin Tin Finds Lost Little Bottle

Tin Tin bounced on the conveyor belt with all his friends. The factory was having a celebration! Music played. Lights twinkled. Red and white and silver cans danced together.

"Little Bottle, look at the pretty lights!" Tin Tin called out.

But Little Bottle didn't answer.

Tin Tin's blue eyes looked left. He looked right. He looked all around the belt. Where was Little Bottle?

"Has anyone seen Little Bottle?" Tin Tin asked the other cans.

They shook their heads. No, no, no.

Tin Tin's pull-tab smile drooped a little. His best friend was gone! The conveyor belt kept moving, carrying Tin Tin toward the packaging station. But Little Bottle wasn't there.

Then Tin Tin saw something. A tiny scratch mark on the belt! It curved away toward the big sorting machine.

"Little Bottle must have rolled that way!" Tin Tin said.

The belt was taking Tin Tin the wrong direction. He had to jump off now, or he'd miss the clue!
