Think about when you eat your favorite cookie. You take a bite, and the cookie gets smaller and smaller until it’s all gone. That’s what consumption is! You are using up the cookie until there is nothing left. It’s like when you play with your favorite toy and the battery runs out. The battery has been consumed because you used it all up.
Imagine your family has a big jug of juice. Every time you pour a glass, there’s a little less juice in the jug. Eventually, the jug is empty because everyone in the family consumed the juice. Consumption is when you use something up, like the juice, until it’s gone.
Think of a candle burning. At first, it’s tall and bright, but as time goes by, it gets shorter and shorter until it disappears. The candle is being consumed as it burns. Consumption is like this candle, where something is used up over time until there’s nothing left.
