Kavi's Gentle Wings

"A tablet is special — and a little bit breakable," Kavi said softly, holding it with both wings. "I carry it with two hands, keep food and drinks far away, and never, ever throw it." When he finished, he wiped it with a soft cloth and tucked it into its cosy case. "Gentle hands keep our devices happy and working!"
