Kavi Hunts for an Answer
Kavi wanted to know, "How tall is a giraffe?" So Kavi typed a short clear word — giraffe height — into the search box. Whoosh! A whole list of results popped up! "But wait," said Kavi, "which one is true?" A clever owl doesn't just believe the first thing. Kavi checked it — read a trusted result, then asked a grown-up to be sure. "Search for it, then check it," hooted Kavi. "That's how we find real answers!"
