Borrowing is like when you have a toy car that you really like, and your friend wants to play with it too. You let your friend use the toy car for a little while, but you know it’s still yours and your friend will give it back to you later. Borrowing means sharing something with someone else for a short time.

Think of borrowing like a library book. You go to the library, pick a book you want to read, and take it home. You can read it as much as you want, but you promise to bring it back to the library after some time so other kids can read it too. Borrowing is about using something and then returning it.

Another way to see borrowing is like a superpower that lets you use things you don’t have. If you want to draw with a crayon but don’t have one, your friend might let you borrow theirs. You get to use the crayon and create your picture, and then you give the crayon back to your friend when you’re done. This way, borrowing helps everyone share and have fun together.
