One time when I was a child my mother sent me to the store to buy ten 
pounds of potatoes. The bag was too heavy, so I took out nine pounds and 
threw them away. When I got home I couldn't believe it when I could find 
only one pound. I asked my mother how I could get them back, and she 
told me to go back to where I threw them away and bring them back; 
sadly, I couldn't find them.
