Kavi and the Tall Tree
Kavi found the tallest tree in the park and wanted to remember it forever. "I'll take a photo!" said Kavi. Kavi opened the camera, pointed at the tree, held very still — and tapped the button. Click! A photo freezes one moment so you can look at it again later. But Kavi's first try was blurry… can you guess why?
