His jacket then became very old and worn out, so he made it into a vest. His vest got old and worn, so he turned it into a scarf. Then his scarf got old and worn, so he turned it into a tie. His tie got old and worn, so he turned it into a handkerchief. His handkerchief then got old and worn, so he turned it into a button. One day he noticed he lost his button, he was very sad. But then he decided to make a book about it. Which shows you can always make something out of nothing.
