Examples

  1. A group of kids build the tallest tower in the playground, but when they argue too much and run out of blocks, it all comes crashing down.
  2. A big family can cook a great feast together, but if one person takes all the food and no one helps with the dishes, things get messy.
  3. A team of astronauts explore space, but if they forget to bring enough air or fuel, their mission will fail.
