There are three boxes $A, B$, and $C$ each containing $3$ colored white balls and $2$ red balls. Next, take three ball with the following rules: 1. Step 1 Take one ball from box $A$. 2. Step 2 $\bullet$ If the ball drawn from box $A$ in step 1 is white, then the ball is put into box $B$. Next from box $B$ one ball is drawn, if it is a white ball, then the ball is put into box $C$, whereas if the one drawn is red ball, then the ball is put in box $A$. $\bullet$ If the ball drawn from box $A$ in step 1 is red, then the ball is put into box $C$.
