glance
A glance is like when you quickly peek at something without looking for too long. Imagine you are playing hide and seek, and you want to see if your friend is hiding behind a tree. You take a quick look, just a second, to see if they are there. That’s a glance!
Think of it like a flashlight in the dark. You turn it on for just a moment to see what’s in front of you, and then turn it off. You don’t keep it on for a long time, just enough to see a little bit. A glance is like that quick flash of light.
Or, picture turning the pages of a book. You might flip through the pages quickly to see the pictures without reading every word. You get a quick idea of what’s happening, but you don’t know all the details. That’s what a glance does, it gives you a small peek without all the information.
It’s like when you see a butterfly flying by. You notice its colors and wings, but it’s gone so fast you don’t get to see every little part. A glance helps you notice things quickly, just like that butterfly.
