Prospect is like a treasure map. When you have a treasure map, you don’t have the treasure yet, but you have a special paper that tells you where the treasure might be. Prospect is the idea of something good that could happen in the future, like finding treasure if you follow the map.
Imagine you’re planting a seed in the garden. You don’t have a flower yet, but you have the hope and the plan that one day, with water and sunshine, a beautiful flower will grow. The prospect is the flower that you’re dreaming of, even though right now, it’s just a tiny seed.
Think of prospect as looking through a telescope at the stars. You see a twinkling light far away, and you wonder if it’s a new planet or a star. You don’t know for sure, but it’s exciting to think about what it could be. That feeling of excitement and possibility is what prospect means. It’s about dreaming and hoping for something wonderful that might happen someday.
