When we talk about ‘stay,’ it’s like being a tree that stands still in one place. Just like a tree doesn’t walk around, staying means you don’t move from where you are. It’s like when you sit on a chair and don’t get up, you’re staying in that spot.
‘ Stay’ is also like a puppy sitting when you tell it to. Imagine you have a puppy friend that you ask to ‘stay,’ and it sits there patiently, waiting for you to say it’s okay to move. It’s like a game where you freeze in place until someone says you can go.
Another way to think about ‘stay’ is like a bookmark in a book. When you stop reading, you put a bookmark to hold your place. The bookmark ‘stays’ there so you can find your spot again. Similarly, when you stay, you’re holding your place until it’s time to move on.
So, whether it’s like a tree, a puppy, or a bookmark, ‘stay’ is all about being in one place and not moving until it’s time.
