"No thanks," whispered Tess. "I'm just rolling on by.  
I'm sure that you've noticed I don't really fit in.  
I'm not even a rock, I'm just made of tin.  
I'm not smooth and solid, and I'm not strong like you...  
I'm a tin foil ball - there's not much I can do."_

But when the rocks go off looking for a lost pebbles and get lost in the woods later that night, it's Tess to the rescue, as she realizes that everyone has value, and even a tin ball can be a rock star
