Kavi's Footprints Won't Wash Away

Kavi hopped along the wet sand, leaving little footprints — then a wave rolled in and washed them away. "Gone!" Kavi hooted. That afternoon Kavi posted a funny photo online, added a comment, and liked a friend's video. "Those will wash away too, right?" But Grandma Owl shook her head. "Online, your steps don't wash away. Every photo, comment and like leaves a mark that can stay — and others can see it, save it, even share it." Kavi blinked. "So I have footprints online?" "Yes," smiled Grandma. "We call it your digital footprint — the trail of everything you do online. And unlike the sand, it can stick around for a very long time."
