When you touch something very cold or very hot, and it makes your hand feel funny and you jump back, that’s a bit like a shock. It’s like when you get a little surprise, and your body says, ‘Whoa, what was that?’ Your heart might beat a little faster, and you might feel a bit jumpy.
Think of it like a jack-in-the-box toy. You turn the handle, and you know something is going to pop out, but when it does, you still feel surprised. That’s similar to how a shock feels; it can catch you off guard even if you expect it.
Or imagine hearing a loud bang when everything is quiet. It makes you feel a bit scared and surprised all at once. Your eyes might open wide, and you might feel like you want to run away. This is because your body is trying to protect you from something unexpected.
So, a shock is like a little surprise that makes your body react quickly, just like when you touch a hot stove or hear a loud noise. It’s your body’s way of keeping you safe.
