How to limit items count in LazyColumn?

I wanted to limit the items to 3 in LazyColumn in the below code,

@Composable
fun MessageList(messages: List<Message>) {
    LazyColumn {
        items(
            items = messages,
            key = { message ->
                // Return a stable + unique key for the item
                message.id
            }
        ) { message ->
            MessageRow(message)
        }
    }
}
