When something is broken, it means it doesn’t work the way it should. Imagine your favorite toy car. If one of its wheels falls off, it can’t roll properly anymore. It’s like when you try to draw with a crayon that’s snapped in half; it might still color, but it’s not as easy to use.
Think of a puzzle. If a piece is missing, the picture isn’t complete, and you can’t see the whole scene. That’s what broken is like—something isn’t whole or isn’t working right.
Picture a cookie that crumbles when you pick it up. It’s still a cookie, but it’s in pieces and doesn’t look like it did before. Broken things can sometimes be fixed, like when you glue the pieces of a cookie back together or when you ask for help to fix your toy car.
Sometimes, when things are broken, they need a little extra care or attention to make them better. And just like a friend who feels sad, broken things might just need a bit of help to be happy again.
