The past is like a big book of stories that have already been written. Imagine each day is a page, and these pages are filled with things that have already happened, like when you had your birthday party or when you learned to ride a bike. These stories are already finished, and we can look back at them to remember and learn from them.

The past is also like a trail in the forest. As you walk, you leave footprints behind. These footprints are like memories of what you did, where you went, and how you felt. You can look back and see the trail you made, but you can’t change it. You can only see it and think about all the fun you had along the way.

Think of the past as a photo album. Each picture is a moment that was captured and saved. You can flip through the album and see pictures of when you were a baby or when you went to the zoo. These pictures help you remember those times, even though they are not happening right now.
