Time is like a river that never stops flowing. Imagine you are standing by the riverbank, watching the water move. Each drop of water that passes by is like a moment in time. Once it goes by, you can’t catch it again. This is why we have yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Yesterday’s water has already flowed past, today’s water is right in front of you, and tomorrow’s water is still coming.
Time is also like the hands of a clock. The clock has two or three hands that go around in circles, showing hours, minutes, and sometimes seconds. The hands move in a steady way, always forward, never backward. This helps us know when it’s time to eat, play, or sleep.
Think of time like a story in a book. Each page is a day, and every chapter is a year. You read one page after another, and you can’t skip ahead or go back. Each page tells a part of the story, and together they make a whole book. This is how time helps us remember the past and look forward to the future.
