Think of a turtle. A turtle moves very slowly because it has a heavy shell on its back. It takes its time to walk from one place to another, just like when you take small steps when you’re tired. That’s what ‘slow’ means.

Imagine the hour hand on a clock. It moves so slowly that you can hardly see it move, but if you watch it for a long time, you’ll see it has moved. This is like when you’re waiting for your birthday, and it feels like it takes forever to come.

Picture a snail crawling across a garden. It moves slowly, inch by inch, and it takes a long time to get where it wants to go. When something is slow, it means it takes a longer time to finish or get somewhere.

Think about when you are eating your favorite ice cream very slowly because you want to enjoy every bite. You take your time and eat it slowly so it lasts longer. Being slow can sometimes be good because it lets you enjoy things more.
