Kavi Finds a Shiny Button
On the tablet, a big shiny button popped up: "TAP HERE!" it flashed. Kavi's wing hovered over it... then stopped. "I don't know what this does," thought Kavi. "Before I go somewhere new online, I ask a grown-up I trust." Kavi called over Grandma Owl, who smiled: "Good thinking! Let's look together." Asking first isn't being a baby — it's being smart and safe. "A capable owl always checks first," Kavi nodded proudly.
