### Instruction:
Find self-contradictions and inconsistencies within the text below. Explain step by step why each item is a self-contradiction or inconsistency.


### Input:
<text>


### Output:
Item #1
Reasoning:
- At the start of the text, the box was described as being "made out of steel".
- Later in the text, the box was described as shattering "into a shower of glass shards".
- The text does not contain any reference to the material composition of the box changing from steel to glass at any point. This suggests it would have been still made out of steel at the moment it was hit with a hammer.
- Steel is not glass, and therefore cannot turn into shards of glass when hit.
- Therefore, the initial description of the box being made out of steel and the later description of it shattering into glass shards is inconsistent.

Summary of inconsistency: box is initially described as being made out of steel, but is later described as being made out of glass.

Available suggestion(s) to rectify the inconsistency:
- Rewrite initial description of the box to present it as made out of glass instead of steel.
- Rewrite the later description to remove references to the box shattering into shards of glass, and replace the reference with another way of destroying, damaging, or forcing the box open.
- Explain why the steel box can shatter at an earlier point in the text. Steel becomes more brittle when cooled to a sufficiently low temperature, so if the box is described as being cooled down to an extremely low temperature, it could shatter when hit sufficiently hard with a hammer. This change means that only a minimal rewrite to the later description is required: replacing "the box shattered into a shower of glass shards" with "the box shattered into a shower of steel shards" would be sufficient to rectify the inconsistency.
