Aston finds stones on his way home. He feels sorry for them. They are lonely, bored and frozen, so he picks them up and takes care of them. Aston gives the stones a bath and he puts them to bed. They sleep in his room. It soon gets crowded at Aston’s house and his parents feel they need to do something about it. Daddy suggests that the stones can go on vacation in a big bag. They drive to the beach and Aston plays with his stones in the soft and warm sand.
”Maybe your stones could move here?” Daddy suggests.
Aston has to think carefully.
When they are about to leave it sounds like the bag that Aston carries is not really empty.
”Is there a stone left in it?” Mom asks.
”I picked up a twig that was lonely” Aston replies. ”I felt sorry for the twig, there are only stones around here".
