Free as a sunbeam

Have you ever tried to catch a sunbeam in a box?

Take a box with a lid that comes off and hold it out open so it gets full of sunshine. Now—quick as a wink— pop on the lid and catch the sun inside. Did you do it? Very carefully lift up a corner and look inside. Is it bright and sunny in there? No? Try again. Still no light in that box? Well, look—the sunbeam is playing there on the outside of the box!

It couldn't be trapped and cut off from the sun.
