When we talk about something being free, it’s like if you went to the park and saw a big, colorful balloon floating in the air. You reach out and catch it, and nobody asks you for any money or anything in return. It’s yours to keep, and you didn’t have to give up anything to have it.
Think of free as a gift. Imagine your friend gives you a cookie just because they want to, and you don’t have to give them anything back. The cookie is free because you didn’t have to pay for it or trade anything for it.
Another way to see free is like a sunny day where you can play outside without having to do any chores first. You can just run and laugh and have fun, and it doesn’t cost you anything.
Finally, think about a library. You can borrow books and read them without paying money. You get to enjoy the stories and adventures, and then you just bring them back when you’re done. That’s what free means. It’s something you can have or do without needing to give anything in return.
