Once upon a time there was a rag-doll. It wasn't a special rag-doll, no one thought it pretty or charming. In fact this was a doll that had been discarded soon after it was made.
No one thought about this. It was only a rag-doll after all.
No one saw that it was being torn apart.
Once upon a time there was model. It was a small model, but it was pretty and came with a set. But then the set was broken and all that was left was the one little model.
But no one thought of this because it made the model more valuable.
No one saw that it was cracked.
Once upon a time there were two boys, but they have been shattered and torn.
and no one even saw.
